thanks guys. I've had gpsd in mind, but I have a larger idea I'm working on, involving multiplexing serial data streams over a single serial/bluetooth link. I want to eliminate all cables (multiple TNCs, DF unit, GPS, etc) in my mobile rig, and being a ham I'm trying to do it cheaply. The easy way is to spend $60 per endpoint to purchase one of these bluetooth/232 devices, but I'm looking for a way that costs less than $300.
In any event, I suspect that using gpsd or some other port replication tool will simply shift the problem, not remove it. I guess restarting a serial mux daemon is less of a problem than restating xastir, but if the serial mux daemon hangs in the same way xastir did, I'm still looking at a reboot. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
