The excerpts workaround from Buddy Lumpkin is as
follows.
------------------------------------------------------
The way I used to do this was with a second machine
running openwindows or CDE. Here is how you do it.
On the second machine connect port A of the machine
that you want the POST output of to port B with a
NULL-MODEM cable.
Now type tip hardwire >> /filename_to_record_post
which by default should open a terminal session to
port A, but you won't be able to see anything so now
in another command/shell tool, do this:
tail -f /filename_to_record_post
now you can type in the first shell, and see all
updates in the other.
Commands for the tip session are:
~. to break the connection ~# to send stop+A to the
tip session.
