Just wanted to let you know the current status of  the HSP problem. I 
reloaded everything today, and installed xastir from the Debian package 
(Version 1.0.0). Guess what? The HSP cable works fine. It looks like 
there is something wrong with the code in 1.2.0. My plan is to step up 
through the stable versions to find where it breaks (unless there was a 
Debian problem, in which case it will never break).

I still think it is spending too much time listening to the GPS. If you 
will give me a clue where the code is timeing the change in DTR I'll 
take a look at it (privately of course, looks like purhaps I need to 
join the other email list as well).
