The GPS receiver I used is essentially a 4800 baud ASCII source.  It transmits
ASCII sentences blindly (no handshaking, no RTS/CTS exchange, etc.).  In fact,
this particular combination (GPS receiver and laptop) were used together for
two or three years, running CE under Windows on my boat.  I tried the receiver
on the outside chance that the app was actually seeing the ports but not
reporting them because of no data on any port.  For several reasons, I doubted
that would work but it'd be silly not to try it.  

However, my thinking is still centered on the fact CE sees no ports at all, not
the default COM1-4, or the added COM5 (/dev/ttyUSB0).  To that end, please
recommend a Windows app (HyperTerminal???) known to work reliably as a COM port
test tool.  I can handle reading the ports on the Linux side, to verify they're
working.
