- I don't know of a program that does this, although writing something that
- replaced the standard serial driver traps with its own wouldn't be too
- hard.
-
- What you could do though is this:
-
- Hook up a null-modem cable between the serial ports on your Mac (you need
- to have LocalTalk disabled for this).
-
- Run something that captures serial output from the "other" port (the one that
- you're not using for printing). Save this captured stuff to disk. Almost
- any comms program will allow this, including ZTerm, Microphone or White
- Knight.
