Thanks, Now, a problem is, that I'm short of serial channels. So, what if the NMEA-driver can't have exclusive access to the serial port? Maybe the NMEA-driver could be just 'sniffing'? There is no need for me to transmit through the driver, just to receive. Or, just assume that the NMEA-sentence is magically accessable internally in the system; Could information from it be fed/directed into ntpd? Or could the MNEA-driver be made to fetch the data from say a file instead, where I could have planted the $GLL-sentence? Or could the NMEA-driver be made to also pass all recieved characters to a file (feature request?), so other programs could have acces to them?
