Because I want to hook this thing up to an existing modem and let it
capture data for extended periods of time and later allow me to 
review the data to see what problems occured on the line.  I already
have stuff to do this on the serial line between the modem and the 
host, but I need to see what is going on between the modems (and 
the data probably should be timestamped & the device should
be able to tell me what is going on in both directions).  Yes
I know this is a big wishlist, and no, I haven't seen any such
product out there.  I am asking the question to see if
someone else out there has heard of such a device.
