<wail>Need Help!</wail> - SuSE/GPS/USB related	by Control	2004-03-17 05:25:23
First the facts: I'm trying to get a usb gps receiver to work with SuSE 9.0. It work fine under winXP, and is listed there a using port COM4. In Linux, it seems to be around, as 'lsusb' lists it as 'Bus 002 Device 002: ID 067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port' From earlier experience on a different toy, I expect the NMEA data from the receiver to be flowing through some /dev/ttyXX. Now how would you go about finding out which dev I should listen to?
