[BC] serial printer assistance

[Randy Moore]

Yes, you can verify that the serial ports work using a terminal program.

Rather than pay the very high price for a replacement serial printer you 
can download the EASWATCH program from broadcast.net and use that on a 
computer with a serial cable to record all EAS messages received and 
activations sent.
