[DUG] Serial port data capture

[Michael Rooney]

Hi John,
I've written one of these PABX to log file on disk apps -
unfortunately I don't own the code.  It was pretty easy using Async
Pro : http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/  - Had to use Indy for
later model PABXen since they use an ethernet port and TCP/IP 'cause
the kids these days don't know about RS232 and think serial means USB.
 If you're interesting in buying the app already made (serial/tcpip
support, multiple PABXes, etc..) - I can hook you up with the
supplier.
