[ stuff about redirecting serial I/O to disk ]
[ stuff about impossibility of above because of the fact that mode programs
write directly to the comm port hardware ]

Well, there's always the hardware hack: If you have two comm ports, you
can just hook up a null modem cable between COM1: and COM2:.  Now,
cobble together a TSR that grabs anything coming in COM2: and writes
it to disk.  Run the TSR, and then run the program that outputs to
the serial port, and print to COM1:.  (You may have to turn down the
baud rate so the TSR can catch the data without dropping characters.)
