I'd guess C3D might have a way to import that file. Even if not, I wrote a small Lisp program to import the file into plain AutoCAD. I'm sure someone could do the same with C3D's API's an Lisp/VBA. If anyone wants documentation on how to setup and use Hyper Terminal for this, just shoot me an Email and forward you PDF instructions.

It is way better than the old 48, and way better (and FASTER!!!) then every other modern collector I've used (FC2000, Carlson, TDS Ranger).
