[Xastir] xastir on a laptop mobile?

[Chris]

Seems easy, but there is only one serial port on my laptop.  Also, unless I read some of the documentation wrong, GPSman does not work with Magellan GPS.

Besides...I got to make a really cool 2 headed cable.  Used cat5 for the cable and DB9 heads...

Regards,
Chris
