I have a device (a phone switch) that will output errors to a serial 
line.  If I plug that serial line into a terminal server (an equinox 
ELS-16), any thoughts on how my bigbrother host (running on 
solaris/intel) can watch that line and react if an error is sent to 
it?

(If I could have some script always watching any output to that term 
server port and putting that output into a file on my bb host, a bb 
script can easily look at that log file)..I'm just not sure how to 
have my unix box connect to the term server port to continuously 
capture the data.

thanks.

-Bob
