interceptty

interceptty (interceptty 0.6)

interceptty is a program that can sit between a real (or fake!) serial port and an application, recording any communications between the application and the device. It can also be used as a network serial server or client, to provide an emulated serial port connected to a program, and for various other tasks.

It was written by Scott Gifford.
