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.
