Does anyone have a utility to capture output sent to a COM port and send it to a file? I need something like PRN2FILE which sends printer output to a file. Thanks, Dave Boyer

I too need such a program. In particular, I know the baud rate and parity of data coming in on a COM line. Is there any way I can read it and transfer it to a file, and provide some minimal control (such as setting timeouts and maybe toggling DTR), from a customizable software package, without my learning all about BIOS calls and DOS interrupts? I'm a Turbo Pascal programmer but NOT a DOS or ASM hacker! (Alternatively, I would pay a consultant to do this package for me. Any volunteers in the Silicon Valley area?) --Bert raphael%hpda@HPLABS.HP.COM P.S. This is a personal, not Hewlett Packard, project.
