I'm running ntpd 4.2.6p5 on an Ubuntu 14.04.1 system (kernel version = 3.13.0-36-generic). I'm thinking of setting up the ACTS_MODEM driver to give me a backup time reference in case my GPS loses its signal.
I have an old Conexant HSF modem card, which I was able to install on an old Linux box many years ago, but I can't seem to get it to work on my current system. The main company (Linuxant) that used to supply Linux drivers for this and similar cards has apparently lost interest, and all the web sites I can find that mention Conexant HSF modem cards are ancient (no updates in 4-5 years, claim Linux 2.6 or 2.4 is the latest kernel, etc.). Has anyone out there succeeded in getting a Conexant HSF modem to work with a current Linux system? If so, I'd be grateful for pointers to any up-to-date drivers and documentation. If getting this hardware to work today is a lost cause, what current Linux-compatible modem hardware would people suggest? It would be nice if a new modem could handle fax (so that I can use it for more than just occasional time service calls).
