Ok, thanks a lot!. First of all, delays are not my problem, so that is nothing to worry at all. Now, the thing i'm dealing with the hardware you recommended me (the one I was looking for) should work great, but the thing I should have to deal with that way is that I have to import it, and it is a very "painful" thing to do over here (that's the reason I was looking for software), not only in time, but it taxes too. Anyway, after your recommendation on using C, found some source code which will give me a hand in www.programmersheaven.com Thanks a lot and have a nice day.

If you can, I've used some print spoolers in that past (mid 90's) that did serial to parallel conversions. Also check out this link: http://www.telebyteusa.com/catalog/products/109A.htm for Telebyte's model 109A bi-directional parallel to serial converter...I believe it's also got a small buffer which could introduce some delay. Also Lantronix makes some boxes that convert RS232 to ethernet, you could read the data right off your LAN. As far as language, I'm not a programmer but I'd guess a simple C program that polled the parallel port for data and wrote said data to a text file wouldn't be too difficult.
