i read your link however i have a question.

for my ard uno, the only hardware serial port is in use by a device plugged into it.

so if I use software serai()  then what leads (wires) do I bring out of the arduio uno and where do i plug these leads into the pc?  The pc has no physical serial port

while you support the "softwareserial" do you also support ALTsoftwareserial?

It only supports SoftwareSerial at the moment.

You need an ftdi cable or sparkfun ftdi adapater which has pin headers at one end and pc/usb at the other.

SoftwareSerial can be a bit fussy about baud rates. I usually stick to 56k which seems to work okay, certainly no higher. 

Something tells me 4800 might be too slow but I can't be sure.

Rx/Tx or Tx only - Break/Update/Trace
If you only want to trace debug, no break or var update, then you will only need one wire from your arduino tx pin to the ftdi otherwise you will have two wires connected (rx/tx). 

Quick Trace Mode
There is a "Visual Micro>Trace Only" menu item that automatically assumes one wire trace mode, regardless of each breakpoints break/trace settings.
