Alright now I'm having problems with GPSD. I compiled it and just copied is into /sbin. Then I run:

#gpsd -p /dev/ttyS0 -t 4800

I checked with ps -ax and the daemon was running. Next I typed

#telnet localhost 2947

and I don't see any GPS data, in fact nothing really shows up other then telnet connecting to the daemon. So I have two problems here really.

1) I'm not sure if i'm starting and testing the GPSD properly. Am I using telnet correctly?

2) My second problem is a bit harder. I'm not sure what port linux will recognize my serial port as. According to this website(Thinkpad 760el, http://tuxmobile.org/ir_misc.html) ttyS0 and ttylS3 are my infrared ports, but I can't find any information about what the serial port is recognized as. I've alread tried the above with ttyS0 through ttyS5. 6-20 is going to take one long time to figure out. Is there a quicker way to scan for my GPS serial port?
