MS-DOS, save COM data to file and display on console at the same time

I have a MS-DOS 3.22 machine that will receive simple text data over serial COM1.

I can make it save to file by doing TYPE COM1 >> data.log and I can make it show the data on the console with TYPE COM1 >> CON but I can't do this simultaneously as the TYPE COM1 is a never ending command.

Is there a way for me to both display the COM data on my console and to save it to file simultaneously?

thx!
