import data

[Guest]

We have a PC running hyperterminal, it displays ansi data received through a Com Port from an external source
I need to somehow capture that information and display it both on our inter and intra net.

Anybody got any ideas???

Suggest you try a Windows or Terminal Server newsgroup

You would need to develop or discover some sort of
background task (probably a Windows Service) that watches
the COM port and records the data in a flat file or a
database or whatever. That's the hard part.

Writing a Web app that displayed the contents of the file
or database would be relatively simple.
