Yep; 'gpsd' shows a new "NMEA paragraph" (chunk of position data) being output every few seconds. Perhaps Hyperterm isn't the right thing to use - if you have any recommendations for terminal that will run under Wine and read a serial port, that would be great. Especially if it's something I can download: I don't have an actual Windows machine anywhere handy. -- * Ben Okopnik * Editor-in-Chief, Linux Gazette * http://LinuxGazette.NET *
