Several related questions - trying to get a Garmin Geko/eTrex serial adapter
connected to a USB port, and use GPSman to communicate with the GPS:

1. Anyone had any luck with a USB to Serial Converters under Linux? I bought
one from TigerDirect to connect my GPS to a USB slot, and it did not even
work in Windows, where there was a drivers disk.

2. Anyone knows how to run GPSMan (written in Tcl/Tk) on OSX? I have someone
offering me a converter, and I want to try it on a macbook (the only
computer I have access to right now), and I installed something called Aqua
which is Tcl/Tk for mac, and it has an interface called Wish, but I still
can't seem to run anything on it...

Thanks,

Z.
