Title: Caputring data from serial port
Post by: Adam on June 19, 2003, 07:08:00 AM

I hoping someone may be able to help me with what I am sure is a really simple problem.
A bit of background - my office phone system allows you to connect a serial line printer to it which will then print every inbound and outbound call and the station used. Instead of connecting this to an old serial line printer I have simply plugged it into the SME server's serial port as it is nearby. Now my question is - how do I capture all data from that serial port and place it into a file, ie the reverse of doing a #echo 'Hello World' > ttyS0. Furthermore I would want to set this up permantly so that each time the server boots it starts automatically.

cheers,

adam

I've done something similar to this, are you talking about the XIOX call reporting system?  I wrote a file in Basic to do this, I could easily port it over to C/C++ if you wish.
