:> Sorry, I'm not looking for samba, I have it installed, unless there is 
:> some way to do PPP snooping on a client using SMB, which I doubt.

: I've had a new idea on this - get a modem and plug it into another
: machine's COM1.  Next, run a null modem cable from machine 2 to the main
: one.  Then, write a bit of code to link COM1 to COM2 and display all
: traffic on the screen of machine 2, effectively making machine 2 a link
: between the main machine and the modem.

: That way, all characters that go to the modem go to machine 2's screen as
: well.

This is the easy bit, trivially done with the correct cabling.
The hard bit is decoding this data into something usefull.
