Well, that's a rather vague statement of requirements. Depending on what is
coming in from the other side, you have many choices:
1. A script to monitor incoming material and to take appropriate actions
depending on what it is (hint: use the MINPUT command).
2. A simple session log, which just records everything that comes in.
3. Kermit server mode, but this means the thing on the other end of the
connection has to be a Kermit client (SEND, GET, etc).
4. Various combinations of 1-3.
There are examples of all these techniques in the book.
