I apologize if this is a repeat type question.  I searched ther forum but couldn't find the answer I was looking for.

I have a GPS/GPRS device that I can configure to send polling data (Location, speed, etc.) to an IP address.  I've read and understand how to configure the device to connect send this data to a machine.

What I don't know how to do is listen for that data.  I've read some people say develop and app to listen on specific ports, etc. 

Before I start slinging code, I'd much rather see if there is something out there.

WHat I really want to do, is listen for this data and store it in a database on my machine so I can mess with it, plot it, generate reports, etc.

does anyone know how I can setup my pc to listen for this incoming data, then store in in a format I can use?  database, flat file, etc..



thanks in advance.
