+## Software ##
+
+The TeleGPS application runs on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It's written
+in [Java](http://java.com) and offers the
+same functionality and interface on all three platforms. It uses the
+FTDI USB Serial drivers to communicate with the hardware. If you're
+running Mac OS X or Windows, a compatible version of those drivers is
+included with the software. You can also install a different from from
+the [FTDI Driver](http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm) page.
