[time-nuts] Affordable PoE 6-digit time displays?

2018-06-14 Thread David Andersen
I'd hoped that ebay or aliexpress would yield a bounty given how seemingly simple these are, but I'm drawing a blank (and finding a lot of $300+ new options). Anyone have a favorite source for either flat wall-mount or rackmount displays that will pull from an NTP/SNTP/whatever server? (if

HP has a shipping exemption for their standards. I don't know what one needs to do to take advantage of it. In the general case, you can't ship caesium, but the HP stuff is - as noted - small and sealed, and they jumped through the hoops. -Dave On Apr 30, 2006, at 5:02 PM, Bill

Re: [time-nuts] Recommendations for NTP server

2006-04-23 Thread David Andersen
You'll get more than you expect -- the offset you're observing on ADSL is very likely wrong, because the delays your packets experience on adsl aren't symmetric. NTP assumes symmetry. So I wouldn't actually believe that a 1ms offset is really 1ms off, depending on the RTT to your ISP.

Mike - I've spent a fair amount of time looking in to this as part of my Internet testbed. At the moment, I have about 25 nodes using EndRun's CDMA time receivers ($1k-ish each), so I've been very interested in cheaper solutions, for obvious reasons. I assume that the devices of which
