Since it's real time, 115kbps blows by pretty fast. Serial just looks like a jumpy line at -x volts. I didn't know a scope would capture that.

Not sure what you want, but you can trap a character on the scope and read the bits right off it. Also make sure your signal isn't upside down. (Drivers, inverters, stuff like that).
