Moin List,
as the question of sniffing serial lines on Win2k/xp has been asked time
and again, maybe the link included below can help people interested in
such a feature to implement it (note that the page only mentions nt, so
I don't know about XP).
Ciao

Try this. It says it works fine in Win2k but doesn't mention WinXP. I have
used this in the past and it worked great for watching trafic from an old
sharp databank device I use to have. Never did figured out the protocol but
I used it for exporting data from the device (using a replay "attack")

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
