Solaris has some sort of "PPS support". My Motorola M12+T feeds the PPS into, I believe, the DCD pin on the serial port.

If not, ISTR reading about a PPS driver. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
