[Xastir] NMEA GPS data duplication

[Lee R. Burton]

That could/would work (assuming the signalling is still happy).. but I'd prefer to do it in software, esp since I only have one serial port on the machine (yes yes, USB serial.. but I already have the data..).. 
It probably wouldn't be too hard to hack something together with socat/remserial.. just need to be able to send the NMEA data out of Xastir over TCP or UDP or a pipe.. then socat/remserial can create a pty to access it ..
Time to poke Xastir's source code :)

Perhaps a "Y" cable at the point you feed data into the TNC which
provides just two wires to another DE-9 connector, then plug that
into a real serial port or a USB-Serial adapter and snag the data
that way?
