I have a hardware device that sends data over the serial port and over a socket connection.

I have the TX of the device connected to the RX of the ESP8266, RX of the device to TX of the ESP8266.

Comm speed is set to 115200 on both.

Code is nothing more than

void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }
}

void loop() { // run over and over
  if (Serial.available()) {
    Serial.write(Serial.read());
  }
}

I listen on the socket and on the serial port at the same time. On the socket port i get correct data (ASCII characters). On the serial monitor of the Arduino i get garbled data. Also, it looks like the Arduino IDE cannot cope with the volume of data. I am sending appx 100 char/sec.

Any ideas?

Ok, I found out that I was trying to hook up an RS232 to an UART and that, to accomplish this, I need a RS232 to TTL converter like the max3232. I will go that road and update the question if I have it.
