OK.  Couldn't get the Oncore unit to work in any way
shape or form.  I bought a DB9 LED tester like this:

 <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260546635257>

Had PPS going to pin 1, DATA OUT to pin 2, and DATA IN to pin 3.
Still
no good.

Bought a Garmin GPS 25-LVC, put it in an enclosure, commented
out the Oncore driver and added to ntp.conf:

 # Garmin / PPS driver:
 server 127.127.20.0   prefer
 fudge  127.127.20.0   refid GPS

Restarted:

 /etc/rc.d/ntpd restart

Checking the status:

 # ntpq -c pe

      remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay
offset  jitter
 ==========================================================
 xGPS_NMEA(0)     .GPS.            0 l   15   64  377    0.000
-716.52 105.934


Looks like it is being read, but is off by quite a bit.  Any ideas on
how
to get it to behave?

with an offset of -716ms, NTP is unlikely to sync to it. Any chance that you are syncing to the wrong edge of the PPS signal, and that you need to use one of the fudge settings to invert the polarity?

 http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver20.html

"flag2 0 | 1
If PPS signal processing is enabled, capture the pulse on the rising edge if 0 (default); capture on the falling edge if 1. "

Just a suggestion.

Good luck,
David
