Sending logs to a printer makes the most sense to me. Absolutely unhijackable, and a good use for that old 9-pin dotmatrix and 2000 sheets of traction feed paper you have in the cupboard.

Fair enough. Although in my defence I must point out that I wasn't advocating sending absolutely everything to the printer verbatim - anyone can see that some sort of filtering and/or escaping is required, both in terms of the volume of data involved, and in terms of dangerous control characters. I also wasn't implying that LPT1 should be the only target for logs, rather a jigsaw piece in a more comprehensive logging strategy (something I didn't make clear).


Thanks for your comments, though. :)
