I guess I wasn't clear: I have a Win box connected to a "smart" peripheral
via RS-232 and I want to "snoop" on the exchange between them. Character
traffic is probably sufficient, but it is also possible they are using
some modem-control lines, too. I need to see the interrogate/response
sequences as I command different activities from the Win box's screen. I
expect I will need to build some cables, which is no problem.
