Yes! What I need is a way of taking the serial data from com1 and faking it's output to com2. So that a GPS connected on one com port can appear to be on two.
So I could have miniStumbler running and useing the GPS and also a program like street & trips using it to. Is it possible? Grey |

We are talking about Pocket PC right? I hope so. I too would like to see an IPConfig utility of some kind, and also some kind of com1 echo to com2. Maybe a bit of software that runs in the background handling the traffic of the com1 port and serving it to applications similar to what the gpsd does in linux. Wouldn't it be cool to send out your GPS info over tcp/ip?

GPS
Does anyone know if hooking up a GPS to a serial Y-Cable would work?
I am not sure if MiniStumbler/Netstumbler is passively listening to GPS coordinates, or if it is sending requests to the GPS unit. If a Y-Cable would work, then you can hook up the GPS to the Y-Cable, then have either two laptops or a laptop and a PocketPC. DSLBiker |

Serial Y cable
It is possible to feed GPS into two ports at once.
/Begin off-topic I once had to do this to prove a Kenwood PMR radio was not sending GPS coordinates correctly, for an AVL system, so we hooked up the GPS to the radio, and via a splitter to a laptop's serial port. We then compared what got captured on the laptop and what was sent by the radio, and sure it was eating up decimal places. /End off-topic So, what you need to do is to get the TX data pin from the GPS (it's either pin 2 or 3 on a DB9 connector, I forget which one now), and connect it to the RX pin on the two serial ports you want data into, and voilą.

ipconfig deal
I started coding a DHCP release/renew item for the Today Screen. That would allow DHCP release/renew just by tapping.. I also had planned on putting in a button to tap for MAC address changes.. It seemed a lot more practical than having to load up one of those stand-alone apps, like IPManager..
If anyone is interested in it, or has any more suggestions as to what can be put in it, let me know.. I'll start working on it again as soon as I get delusion working more. |

Is there a Pocket PC app (related to stumbling and wireless sec.) you are still missing ?
