I am new to both the forum and Stumbling. I did my first "drive" yesterday and found 22 AP's just in my general vicinity.

My rig is an older IBM laptop with a P150 running 98se. The laptop only has 1 serial port and no USB ports. I have a Delorme Tripmate that I want to use for mapping. Everything works great by itself. Netstumbler picks up the Ap's fine and logs the GPS coords. But I would like to run Netstumbler and the mapping program at the same time. I have searched the forum for a serial splitter and they all seem to only work with NT/2000/XP or the links to them are dead. I also have Mappoint 2002 but I know it will not work with the Delorme. I found a couple of converter programs that will allow me to convert Netstumbler's info and export it into Mappoint, but that is after the fact.

My question is, is there anything out there that will allow me to map as I go or am going to be stuck mapping afterwards?

Thanks in advance......
