That's definitely the simplest solution. If you don't want to make a Y
cable Peet Bros sells one. If making a Y cable then you might want to
add a 1N914 diode in series with the RXD lines on the computers. Keep
the serial cables short, also.
Ultimeter pinouts (leave TXD disconnected on the XASTIR machine):

XASTIR should work with serial data in any mode (except modem mode [1])
from any model Peet station.
[1] Modem mode outputs complete record data but must be queried.

Beware! A lot of these 12 to 5 VDC adapters have
badly-shielded-and-suppressed switching-mode regulators in them. Several
that I have received with various GPS devices completely blanket the AM
broadcast band and lower HF bands (160/80/40) with broadband white noise or
squealing drifting birdies every 30-40 KHz. One unit would even break
squelch on my D700 when it was plugged in!

Voice alert. Much ado about nothing!
I think the voice alert idea is a great idea. I have set my D700 for voice
alert ever since Bob first posted that idea. My radio breaks squelch once
in a while when someone is transmitting on APRS with the 100 tone is within
simplex range of me. I quickly look at my display and can see who it is. I
find that somewhat interesting. TO DATE, I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYONE GIVE A
VOICE CALL ON 144.39! So I see no reason why anyone would get exited about
it as not being proper transmissions.
I do live in a remote area but still hear the stations from Seattle to
Olympia direct and still have yet to hear this idea being put to use. I
generally send a message to the station within simplex if they also have a
D700 and then meet them on a local repeater or on simplex. Alternately we
also urge our NW APRS Group users to imbed a message in their transmissions
of what frequency they are monitoring. This also works really great for
contacting a fellow APRS'er traveling through the area.
Of course for our imbedded message idea both stations need a D700 or D7 or
computer on line, the Voice Alert idea can be done with any type of tracker.
Each method serves a useful purpose.
Lets remember, the main thing about Ham Radio and APRS is to HAVE FUN!
Let's not spoil our fun by useless arguments.

I am running WinAprs version 2.6.1 and just purchased a copy of Precision
Mapping Streets and Traveler 5.0 At one time I was utilizing Precision
Mapping 3.0 and downloaded the OCX from TAPR. I needed to upgrade since I
am now utilizing XP as a OS.
What do I need to do in order to get this up and running? Download a
different OCX?
Thanks
