[ale] Monitoring the serial port

Does anyone know of a way to capture serial port output of a device onto a
Linux system and log everyting it sees to a file?

What I am trying to do is connect to a router that spits diagnostic messages
through the serial port, and archive whatever I see.


I was thinking about using a combination of cu and ttysnoop.... Is this the
best way to go at it?
