I've been working on serial interfaces for more than twenty years and I
have learned exactly one thing.
DO NOT attempt to hook up to serial devices unless you have a serial
data analyzer. If your management won't buy one, it's time to get new
management.
I think very highly of BlackBox and recommend them all the time. They
have a variety of offerings and free technical support that is very
responsive.
See here for a long list of options:

We bought one like this years ago:

Honestly, without a scope, it is so much harder that it approaches
impossible and with one you'll be done in moments because you can see
the messages and understand the issues.
