Hi Robert.

When you say "modify the hardware", do you mean just the device at the far end of the wire, or the PC as well?
If the former, I would seriously consider some sort of simple interface to do the serialisation/deserialisation for you, probably along the lines of a PIC microcontroller programmed to talk standard parallel port on one side and whatever the remote device requires on the other...
Best wishes from Riley.
