Re: Emulating a serial printer

[David Beccue <kplug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did just that with my old phone system (but I used DOS).  I bought a
$50 computer and wrote the tiny little program myself.  Are you a
programmer, or are you looking for off the shelf stuff?  You could certainly
use kermit or minicom or any decent communications package to log all
data into a file.

Let me know if you need more help.
