Thanx for the detail explaination, but I am still a little confused.
After installation of Debian I followed the tangogps guide from OM wiki.
I installed fso-gps and tangogps, both with <apt-get install fso-gps
tangogps> and it doesn't work together. Neither 'location' nor 'tango'.
After a selfmade confusion with my servers iptables I installed also
netutils-ping and dnsutils. Thats all.
So, please give me a hint what to de-install and which combination to
install and how to configured it. Maybe also the startup with zhone gui,
currently I need to start tangogps by xterm.
BTW, I checked my process list and couldn't find any other gpsd except
fso-gpsd:

The reboot was several hours before...
