Mike:
Thanks. It is a Debian distro. I'm gonna try chasing this down on a few fronts. I was going to try using shmpps since it doesn't require a kernel patch. If that pans out, I just might call it a day. If not, I'll look back at my DB9 wiring/connections and/or the firmware issue with the GPS 18. Of course, as luck would have it, I issued a reboot to my linux box remotely from work and it doesn't seem to have come back online. So I've been kicked out until I get home this evening. At the same time, I'm heading out for a week long ski trip to Vermont and Quebec, Canada. So I doubt I'll have any time to play with this until next week. :) -Alby On Fri, February 4, 2011 2:23 pm, Michael Miller wrote: > I going to guess you are using a Debian based distribution.
