Actually, the best hardware for the job is the Soekris NET4501 which can timestamp a signal to a quarter microsecond. That's why we use it for NTP servers in the first place. All the software you need is in the FreeBSD kernel, and there is a handy userland program to get the measurments into ascii format (the earlier mentioned ppsapitest program). -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
