Are the users uploading the tracks?

If so they would need to be in gpx format.
Can a version of
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Talk:NMEA>
be made into a windows batch script?

I believe  that there is already a ticket for this in trac.

<http://josm.eigenheimstrasse.de/ticket/27> is something similar, but  
not quite the same as it is looking for live NMEA import.

Please add your information in a new ticket, so that it doesn't get  
lost.
