HI I'm not an expert, but why not just plug your device into both com1 and com2 ports. This way you can keep reading everything that's being sent. if your digital organizer is plugged into com2 then buy a splicer at 'radio shack' and plug it into com1. AT YOUR OWN RISK. :) timmy The Johnson Family wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion, but this programme is designed to scan network > (tcp/ip) ports, rather than local COM ports - does anyone else know of a > ready made programme that can do what I need? > Thanks Lucius for the suggestion of using a second computer, but the only > other computer I have only has 1 com port (and no, it cant run the software) > Also, the TSR is a possibility, but I havent the foggiest how to do this > either. > > Nick > ----- Original Message ----- > From: WCBaker at home <WCBaker at HOME.COM> > To: <EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU> > Sent: Friday, January 28, 2000 7:02 PM > Subject: Re: Com port spying > > > Nick, check out a great port sniffer, or port scanner if you prefer: It > is > > heavy-handed for what you want but I think that it will do the trick (I > > believe you can scan yourself as it were).
