[Xastir] Xastir and Ultimeter weather station

[Steve Jones]

Hello all,

I'm seeing what's involved in making the switch from ui-view on an old  
PC to Xastir on my Mac.

So far so good.  I've got Xastir compiled and showing maps from online  
sources.  I've transferred over my Ui-View maps and all is good.

I'll need a serial to usb adaptor for the tnc but I'm not sure about  
hooking up my Ultimeter weather station.

Right now I've got another PC running Weather Display which outputs a  
wxnow.txt file every 10 minutes.  UI-View picks up this file and uses  
it to generate my weather broadcast.

Is there a similar function in Xastir?

Since Weather Display generates my weather webserver pages, I'll be  
keeping it around for the forseeable future.

I could split off another serial connection from the Ultimeter but  
that would mean hanging another usb to serial adaptor off of my  
computer which I would rather not do.

Any suggestions?
