I've been fantastically happy with my BR355, but it's still the SiRF
StarIII chipset - no problem for me there.  As long as you're using a
*BSD or a Linux, GPSd should work fine in your OS of choice, and
speaks SiRF binary just fine.  Even has a SHM output driver for NTP,
if you plan on using it as a time source.  I've never heavily tested
it's accuracy for timing, but location has been great: the first GPS
system I've tested that I could get a solid in a commercial aircraft
without sticking the puck out in the window.

I've got to wonder, though - how much of a driver would it take (if
any) to recognize a device presenting 3 UARTs over the PCI bus?  It
says they are "16C950" UARTs, which seem to be supported by the Linux
& BSD in-kernel drivers.  Not being a driver developer, I'm wondering
if those wouldn't just be automagically picked up and presented as
serial devices...  Can anyone more familiar with UART handling come to
bear on the subject?
