The protocol they use (NMEA) is quite straight forward, with plenty of
references out there on the net.
It's basically a series of ascii lines (sent normally at 9600bps) terminated
with a cr. You could easily hack something up that would decode the
date/time components.

Subject: RE: hardware clock
I have seen some recommendations to use a GPS receiver
as a secure, reliable time source. Apparently they can
be connected via a (serial?) cable to the server and
some software used to extract time signals.
