I've now tried two approaches, and while both /may/ be sending data (how to 
test?), neither stream is seen by u-center.  Of course, it's most likely my 
errors!  I tried to broadcast UDP, and then to send TCP.

Perhaps I have the client/server relation the wrong way round as I would expect 
simply to make a TCP stream available rather than having to specify the device 
in "nc".  I have less experience of UDP, except within the context of NTP 
offering a service, and needing to have a firewall entry allowing incoming 
connections.

Anyway, here's what I tried:

UDP method:
gpspipe -r | nc -u -b 192.168.0.255 12101

TCP method:
gpspipe -r | nc 192.168.0.8 12101

So if anyone has any bright ideas...

Cheers,
David
