        Thanks to help from a poster at grc.techtalk.linux, I got into 
XP's device manager. It thought COM1 and COM2 were busy (God knows with 
what), but let me create a COM3. Both the Garmin and the DeLorme saw that 
and used it. 

        So, for instance, I found a back road I wanted that was on DeLorme 
but not Garmin, I made a route of it; uploaded to a GPS; downloaded to 
Garmin; and gloated.

        To the woods, to the woods!

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
