I'm glad to read your email (I was starting to think that noone reads this 
mailing list)

I have uploaded it to sourceforge under Misc_Utilities package.

I think so.

forgot to change it on the final one.

In fact, it should be: gpsd -f /dev/ttyS3

I have removed this part because as long as I read gpsd now test and 
configure the correct port speed.

I have uploaded this changes along with other bugs that I found to svn.

I will look at it next week. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't use Firefox, so I can help you, Why not ask this question on oesf 
forums (http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=21217&hl=)

I think on that page as part of qpeGPS project.
