[Xastir] Can you view GPS data?

         The problem is that Xastir seems to "lose" my GPS from time 
to time.  I'd like to be able to see the NMEA strings, so I can tell 
if the data is getting from the GPS to Xastir, and it's just lost 
lock or something, or whether the virtual serial port has keeled over and died.

         Thanks,
         Earl
