If you setup a NMEA refclock, it runs off the text strings on the serial port. It works, it just doesn't keep as good time as you normally get from PPS. How good depends on your GPS device. A lot of them have a lot of jitter. You also get jitter from the OS (and serial port hardware). There should be a simple recipe to minimize that. I haven't seen one and several tries haven't produced anything that I'd call good-enough. (When I run out of other things to work on...) -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
