This hack changes the serial port that TeleType GPS will use to connect
with the GPS receiver.
To save heap, (and a bit of my time :-), two packages are provided,
one for the bottom slot (slot1) and other for the upper slot (slot2).
It shouldn't matter where it is installed, if Teletype is not present,
it will try again in 15 seconds and, if that fails, it will tell you so.
The comm port preferences slip isn't used by the program originally, so
don't care about it.
it's here:

Another way to do this, and avoid the hack, is to edit the package file
of Teletype with an Hex Editor, at address hex. 5ED5 , starts a string
that reads: e x t r - or 65 00 78 00 74 00 72 in hex. you can change
that string using this list:
"e x t r " Use the external serial port (typical default).
"i n f r " Use the built-in infrared port. (SIR mode!, not IrDA)
"m d e m " Use the built-in modem. (that's the internal serial port)
"s l t 1 " Use the application card in slot 1.
"s l t 2 " Use the application card in slot 2.
Maybe, if you change "aser" at adr.hex. 5D69 for "ircm", it will try to use
Eckhart Koeppen's Nitro.
leave the 00 between each number, that's for unicode.
When edited, saved and installed, the program will use the written
serial port.
Enjoy
