I have two PC's and a third device (data-centre) connected RS232 links.

One of the PC's and the data-centre have been configured to output alarm monitoring information to a generic/text line printer, using ASCII.

Is it possible to have the second PC read any information from the alarm monitoring devices and write it into an ASCII text file?

The only constraint on the PC operating system is that the alarm monitoring one is Windows 2000 - the second one recieving the ASCII information is to be spec'd according to the requirements of the solution to my question.

I would be grateful for any help in this,

SJ
