Earthmate with GpsDrive 2.09: msg#00118

Subject: Earthmate with GpsDrive 2.09
I have an old IBM ThinkPad 600E and a serial Earthmate sitting around. So, I decide to rebuild the ThinkPad with Fedora Core 3 Linux and compile the latest GpsDrive 2.09. The Earthmate is a working unit and it has been using on another ThinkPad running Windows.

The installation of Fedora Core 3 and compilation of GpsDrive 2.09 went fine. I am able to run GpsDrive. However, when I start GPSD within GpsDrive, I got the following error messages.

No GPS used
Timeout getting data from GPS-receiver!

The Earthmate is not NMEA-capable and I can see that GPSD daemon is running with -T e option. Here is what is running.

gpsd -p /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600 -T e

When I telnet to port 2947 and hit R, I do not see anything. I have tried using baud rate 4800 but no success. I have also tested with /dev/ttyS1 to /dev/ttyS7 and none of the port works.

Can anyone point me to the right direction on how to fix the problem I have?

Thanks in advance.

Chi.
