Serial Port "sniffer"

[richy22]

Can anyone recommend to me a serial port Sniffer/Monitor that is freee.

I have one called "Advanced Serial Port Monitor" but they want £180 euros to "activate it".

I need one that has options to capture received and transmitted data.

portmon used to be the normal way of doing it, but it doesn't work with later versions of windows or USB serial ports.

Are you just after capturing data or do you need other information? (i.e control signals?)

Edit:

When I want to capture serial traffic I normally just use a mac running parallels and redirect the COM port to a pipe, sniff the pipe and redirect it to a USB CDC port.
