CommSpy is a Macintosh utility that shows the data being
sent and received on the serial ports.  It performs the
function of a hardware line monitor, but does it strictly in
software. CommSpy can monitor multiple serial ports
simultaneously.


Use it to troubleshoot modem script files, or to develop
communications software of your own. You can view the
data as hexadecimal, as text, or as hex and text at the
same time. You can save what you see as a CommSpy
document, too.


Applications using the serial ports are completely unaware
of its presence. However, applications that bypass the
normal serial port drivers can not be monitored. CommSpy
supports Apple's Communications Toolbox, but does not
require it.

Other than this product, has anyone seen or used any other that does the
same thing? I need to monitor some stuff moving in and out in the serial
port and I don't feel like writing my own app to do it. Oh, the above
product is in beta testing right now, so I can't even buy it...drat.
