You could run PPP on RS232 to a computer with NTP daemon. But you have better get the solution cleared with security! If there is PDS cabling from "restricted area" to "space with good GPS" you use that as connection between GPS receiver and NTP machine. /hjj _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
