Hi Pete!
Since had the same problem, I tried the monitor program you suggested. It seems like some 30 seconds after FS9 has loaded, things get screwed up badly (see dump below). Oddly, GPSOut seems to not only use COM2 as specified in the ini file, but also does something to/with COM1. If I select COM1 instead (in the ini), the problem disappears. Could be the reason why the problem wasn't detected earlier.
