Interesting. The problem is that for home computers with one RS232 port
that port is already used up for the modem. On the other hand, it does
sound like a nice job for the CP/M machine in my closet.

(How I wish that computers still came with two serial ports ... one
for the printer! The difference in cost between a serial and parallel
printer is way outweighed by the greater utility of a second serial
port.)
