[Xastir] I finally got it!

[Michael Lewis]

  "The secondary serial port is available on pins 7 and 8. A “Y-adatper 
cable” can be built to separate the primary and
secondary serial ports to separate connectors. When a splitter cable is 
used, it is recommended to connect the computer
to the primary port (pins 2 & 3) and the GPs to the secondary port (pins 
7 & 8)."

I tried it that way too if I reverse the connections (i.e.) GPS plugged 
into PC port and so on no GPS LED blinking on the TT4 and still no 
connection.
