I am new to this list, so please be gentle ;^> I have a TP750CD and have purchased DeLorme's GPS Link II software to couple the TP to an Eagle Accunav Sport GPS receiver. By coupling the two, I will be able to use the MapExpert CD ROM in a real time mode, where the GPS receiver updates the map's location continually. The two link via a cable connecting the NMEA output of the Accunav Sport to the serial port of the TP750CD. Unfortunately, I get the message "Serial Port Not Responding" when running the GPS Link II software. I have called the IBM support line often enough that I feel I know the good folks on their end of the line. Likewise, DeLorme offers no consolation. I have been carful to follow all suggested steps to turn the port on. I cobbled together a loopback DB9 connector and used CheckIt to test the serial port. It passed all tests but the "modem" test- whatever that is. Is there anyone out there who can suggest where to turn or what to do to make the serial port function? Tom Thomas A.
