Opposite to "tee" command"?

Hello gurus,

Using "tee" command I can duplicate standard output to any tty.
But is there a way to duplicate output from certain tty on e.g. my
telnet screen?
The problem is that some datum output on V24 (/dev/scc0a) - to check
and log it
it is necessary to bring PC there and connect it instead of
TTY.Sometimes it needs a lot of time and efforts.
Is it possible to avoid moving PC?

thanks in advance

If you can't modify the program that outputs to /dev/scc0a (that would be
a stupid program!), you might make /dev/scc0a into a symbolic link or a
named pipe.
