Fixed the issue with the splitter cable.. it was really simple and it
dawned on my that I had two null modems back to back which is why I
never could connect with the splitter cable.. So far everything is
working now and I can try working with xastir now and see if any
stations pop up while
about the Null modem pinouts that I forgot about the few
versions it has.. My null modem cable from ebay could be one way (no
info) and the built cable I followed from the site could be another way.

Should have to set baud rate (or set Xastir's interface to match the
to the secondary port (pins
7 8).
I tried it that way too if I reverse the connections (i.e.) GPS plugged
into PC port and so on no GPS LED blinking on the TT4 and still no
connection.
