[go for it, line-eater!]

I should start by saying that I am a good unix hacker, but a sub-novice
DOS user.  My request deals with an XT-clone running DOS 3.something.

I am aware of programs which print data from a file while the user
merrily runs other programs.  My requirement is the converse (?).

Computer A, of unimportant type, is "printing" at 300 baud, XON/XOFF,
to what it thinks is a serial printer.  Computer A is _really_ attached
to my XT clone via a serial link.  I need to shuttle all that serial
data to a file, all day long, while I merrily run other programs.  At
the end of the day (or week, whatever), I want to gracefully stop the
spooling program, and analyze the collected data.

I would prefer to accomplish this all in C, but I suspect that alot of
assembler is required.

At this point, I would be greatful for pointers to good literature, but
I would be extremely glad if someone had more specific Advice.

Thanks in advance,
	--joe.
