in reply to need to capture serial port output

Ever look at expect ? Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs according to a script. I do alot of programming in Perl/Shell and others, and for serial port stuff or writinging programs that need to interact as a user, I've used expect. hope this helps some.

    No, actually; this does not help at all.

    The situation is that I do not need to talk to the serial port---I need to capture the data flowing to and from the serial scanner.
