Cannot establish telnet session directly after gpsd is started #5
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(This occurred only using Bryan's computer, while using a script to
instantiate a GPS_getter object)
1. start gpsd to work with a GPS device
2. try to to the specified (or default) port via telnet
3.
What is the expected output?
(nothing)
What do you see instead?
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Ideas: The __init__() method for GPS_getter opens gpsd and immediately
tries to establish a connection via telnet. The same error occurs if you
try to telnet into a socket that is not listening for anything. It is
possible that gpsd is not done with everything it has to do by the time we
try to establish a connection on the next line.
