Good catch... I missed that in the private op which seemed to indicate
that the ppc was seeing data but the protocol was wrong.

See http://BevHoward.com/serial.htm for more ppc serial information.

I have a Null modem built into the GPS serial cable.

When I use an additional null modem I just get a serial timeout without the
protocol message.

Jumping the CTS and RTS and the DCD and DTR gives the same set of results.

Any other suggestions?
