Is there any way, in the ACTS refclock driver, to specify the speed at which the modem's serial port should be opened?
The source code (ntpd 4.2.7p475) appears to use a hard-coded speed of 19,200 bits/sec (ntpd/refclock_acts.c, line 138). I was unable to connect to the NIST time service at all -- the service picked up the line, but I heard a lot of chaotic noise (suggesting a futile attempt to negotiate a connection) until the driver eventually timed out and hung up. I can connect without any problems at all, however, if I dial up manually (using "cu -s 1200 -l /dev/acts0"). I changed B19200 to B1200 in the ACTS driver, and the resulting ntpd was able to connect and get valid time info from NIST. But I'd prefer a solution, if at all possible, that doesn't require changing the source code. Any thoughts?
