Wouldn't it be a simple solution to split off the RxD wire from the 
serial line, and connect it to a second serial port, on the same or 
another computer?
RS232 isn't multipoint, so TxD should be kept to a single port. It's 
hardly used in this application anyway (only for receiver config).

This way it would even be possible to feed a range of gps devices and 
applications from a single receiver.
I guess the receiver has the power to drive a port or two; if not a 
max232 as a buffer would solve that. Max232 is a serial buffer/driver 
ic, costs virtually nothing and +5V is at hand for the receiver.
