5370.0. "Monitoring serial.device??" by MUDIS3::AGRAF () Fri Jan 24 1992 08:45

    Hi all,
    
    I'd like to monitor the actions of the serial.device, i.e. the
    character streams that go in/out... I can't afford a data-line-monitor
    so a software solution would be handy.
    
    Are there any programs that will do this? If not, any suggestions how
    to write one? I could catch all OpenDevice, BeginIo ... calls but
    I don't think this is a very elegant solution...
    
    BTW: How does cmd catch the calls to the printer??
    
    			Thanks in advance,
    
    				Andy

	I've never tried this, so it might not work... I'd try patching the serial.device library vectors for open/begin/close. Use it to log the requests comming through (count, size etc) and then pass control to wherever the original vector was. Do all this in assembly! just a quick thought... john
