Martin,

Many thanks for your invaluable help/vielen Dank fuer Ihre sehr
wertvolle Hilfe!

I was unaware of cu, but I was able to use to to verify that /dev/
ttyS0 was in fact
showing the correct ASCII strings. From there it was relatively easy
to get
everything up & running.

Now there are two remaining issues:

 - Why did 'ntpq -c clockvar' show refclock_states="*NOMINAL" and
incrementing every second
   even when there was no cable plugged into the serial port?
   I'm tempted to regard this as a violation of the Principle of Least
Astonishment.

 - The OS (CentOS, which is a close relative of RedHat) deletes
everything in /dev
   each time it is booted. Is there some recommended way of setting up
the link
   /dev/refclock-0 -> /dev/ttyS0?

BTW: I'm planning to add another NTP server based on a Garmin GPS18x
LVC.

Thanks and regards,
Paul
