-----<BR> gpsd is a daemon that will monitor a serial
port for messages sent by<BR> a GPS device and broadcast
it on a TCP port (actually, it broadcasts<BR> anything
that comes in on the serial port, so you could use gpsd
to<BR> do an internet broadcast the output of any
device: an atomic clock,<BR> an acquisition device,
etc...).<BR></FONT></DIV>
