[foxboro] More printer questions...

Greetings All... 
We have our system alarms and process alarms printing on a dot matrix line
printer, fed by the serial cable from our AW51E.    What I would prefer
doing, is log these alarms to file instead of a printer. We could then
browse the log files  as needed and save a few trees in the process. Is
there a way to pull this off without investing hard cash into more hardware.
We're running I/A 6.1.2 on Solaris.   I currently use "serial to parallel
converters" but these have proved costly and unreliable.  Any suggestions?
