That could/would work (assuming the signalling is still happy).. but I'd prefer to do it in software, esp since I only have one serial port on the machine (yes yes, USB serial.. but I already have the data..).. It probably wouldn't be too hard to hack something together with socat/remserial.. just need to be able to send the NMEA data out of Xastir over TCP or UDP or a pipe.. then socat/remserial can create a pty to access it .. Time to poke Xastir's source code :) --- Lee Burton [email protected] 301 910 0246

Perhaps a "Y" cable at the point you feed data into the TNC which provides just two wires to another DE-9 connector, then plug that into a real serial port or a USB-Serial adapter and snag the data that way? -- Curt, WE7U. archer at eskimo dot com http://www.eskimo.com/~archer Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math. - unknown Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates. - WE7U.
