Hi,

I am looking for a serial port sniffing application.
Something like portMon under windows, so that I can debug my Keyspan
usa19-based application.

I googled without success on this...

TIA,
--Philippe

I looked at portMon, pretty neat. Couldn't you do something similar in
your program by just writing all I/O to/from the port to STDIO as you
send and receive characters (XCode will show this in the console
window). If you have another serial port adapter I can give you a
serial moniter program (like tcpdump) that will capture data on the
port by directly taping into the data stream. I you want to discuss
this further send me email.

Not as powerful as PortMon , I've found portTem on Mac OS X (

I am not a soldering expert, so I'll still hope to find a pure software
sniffer...

Thanks,
