Dave, I have since retired the FreeBSD server in favour of Windows 2000 and XP systems which can provide a good enough offset for me (within a millisecond or so). Look at the three systems here: http://www.satsignal.eu/mrtg/daily_ntp.html Feenix - lightly loaded XP system Stamsund - heavily used interactive XP system Bacchus - lightly loaded windows 2000 system, with occasional 100% CPU load from a weekly defrag (today's defrag would not do this).

But having a router box you could simply convert might be easier. You can use serial-to-USB convertors and not loose too much accuracy: http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/NTP-on-Windows-serial-port.html#usb > Now, I realise the clock speed is not that quick by modern > standards, but could that have enough "grunt" to work as a > GPSDNTP server for a small low traffic LAN?..

Too much QRN from all the computers here to do too much radio! 73, David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
