The one I just received (a Navtel) has what appear (I haven't played with it
yet) to be pulse catchers which can be patched to any pin. Presumably they
latch on for a transition (there is a reset button). Which edge (+/-) they
watch for will be the question.

If I did more of RS-232 troubleshooting, I'd probably want one with a
pulse stretcher on at least SD and RD. At 115K, it's pretty hard to
notice a one-character blip. I don't know if any were made like
this, but it wouldn't be hard to cobble one up.
