All: I'm in the need of a method that will open and record all data coming in via the serial port. In short, how do you read text data from a serial port? I want to pipe the raw text data coming in via the serial port into a file, and then on a nightly (cron job) basis to move that file to a "holding" directory. The data will be coming from a telephone switch that only knows how to pipe records out a serial port (so no scripting ability on that side to do any sort of terminal login). If anyone can provide any pointers on how to do this, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
