Or the lat or longitude as I found out!  I should have realized that the
Ocelot can indeed speak birectionally over its DB-9 port because that's how
Homeseer connects.  Your program has been running for several days now.
Interestingly enough some integer variables seemed to have reached max when
I do a variable dump.  I'll get back to CMAX as soon as I get this MUX
interconnection squared away.  It didn't make much sense to pursue the
Ocelot segment of the problem until I was sure I could actually control the
MUX via ASCII commands over a serial connection.
