Default Getting nmea connections into my laptop

Here's what I use, Webfoot. You plug your NMEA serial port off the NMEA
multiplexer that's supposed to go to the computer into its 9-pin port.
Then, you plug the Ethernet port into one of the ports on your NETGEAR
wireless router. No internet connection is necessary..(c;



Now, if the damned fool NMEA manufacturers would dump all this 1970 serial
technology crap and just put an ethernet port, DHCP enabled of course, on
their boxes, I could be watching the radar on the bow, in color of course,
too!

Nuts.....(d^

NMEA SUCKS....
