These guys have one listed:

so it might be worth trying to get hold of that particular model, there
or elsewhere.

Felix,

Thanks,

I went to domayne and grabbed a Belken F5U409CU USB to rs232 adapter, at the 
exhorbitant price of $70.00 in round figures the unit that you have is a tad 
more economical, though not in stock.

I tried the belken and went scrounging around for a driver to suit but same 
for linux are in short supply. I couldnīt get it to work. Under their policy 
I can and will return it for refund, then go back to where I should have in 
the first place - www.everythinglinux!.

 

This page mentions someone getting it to work with the mct_u232 module

Maybe give that a go first?

**** but wait...., thereīs more!!

I found a GPS receiver that plugs straight into your USB port, with NMEA 
output and only $159.00 inclusive of tax!! Does everyone want one??

 

Wow that's cheap, does it work standalone too?
