I'm sure it already exists. When you're debugging any communications
protocol, you have to debug one side at a time, which means you need to
have some way of faking the data coming from the other side.

What does the communication look like, anyway? Doesn't it just go across
a standard serial port? That can probably be done with a Palm Pilot once
you figure out the wiring specification.

Theoretically speaking, of course.
