Linux and the bsds share protocol information like this all the time. > Also it looks like the GPS has no outbound endpoint, I think it just > sends data as soon as it is plugged in with no need for commands to be > sent to it.

If I knock up a driver for the latest 2.6.x kernel, can you apply a patch and test it out? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
