Some of these use one port and a special sniffer cable, some use two
ports. There are other sniffers out there, I'm sure, but these were
the ones that took less than two minutes to find. I haven't used any
of them, so I can't recommend one vs another. I have commercial-grade
gear for this (HP4951), but with all the options out there, you should
be able to find a PC-based one that does what you need.

With a serial port, you can turn an old machine
with two serial
interfaces into a snooper...
RS-232 is such a pain, I just had some problems recently. I had never
thought of using my PC as a way of snooping serial traffic. I have two
serial ports on my machine. Does anyone know of any good software to do
this? I could always write it myself, but it would be nice if there was
already something there.
