Cool.

Still, a couple of suggestions: 

Getting at the serial port without gpsd is system-dependent, and you'll probably need to stop gpsd while you interface directly with the serial port.

A few suggestions for programs to look at:

If using darwin/OSX or *nix, on the command line:
1. 'minicom'
2. 'stty' and 'cat' commands

Under Windows, PuTTY is a good place to start:

Good Luck!
