Thanks Jim, but if this is what I think it is, it only works with APRS - as
it brings together the GPS and TNC to one comport. UI-View does not appear
to be able to handle both functions on one port.

The US company PacComm had a com port spliter cable for this very purpose.
It makes APRS TNC's, etc. I believe they are accessible on the internet.
