I doubt if you find this helpful, but I have used "serialtest spy"
from FrontLine to monitor PPP (or was is SLIP?) connections.  It has
been a while, but I think I saw every byte in/out of the com port.

The trouble is the cost.  Seems like is was $500 or so.

Maybe they have a demo version you can download??

Anyway, what you are asking for is out there (if that makes you feel
any better.)
