Has anyone had any experience with the M&CP Bitview Data Line Monitor?
Its a hand held box about the size of a breakout box, that monitors
a serial connection with an 8K buffer and an LCD display. It costs
$595.

It seems a little high in price to me, but would seem very convenient
for trouble shooting. Has anyone tried it, or know of some competition
for it?

I know there are PC programs that can do this kind of monitoring, but
I think the portability is a real issue here. Even a laptop is much
less convenient.
