Hijacked thread.  Yes - this would be great to see done on a linux
machine.  I don't know that much about LH, but something done cross
platform (PyQt or such - could make binaries for win, linux, and mac)
in a  server/client config would be great.  I don't know much about
NTP other than pointing machines to NTP servers for time, but having
the server side provide also be an NTP server would be the cats ass
for me.  Pretty big wish list for someone who can't write code out of
a wet paper bag huh?

It would be nice, but if no graphic i/f is used for the server side, I think it would be better to implement it in standard C instead of PyQt, for portability reasons, so the server could be easily rebuilt for running in a non-PC class embedded linux computer (like those using ARM)

For providing ntp, probably the best way is to use ntp :) As far as I remember, since I've not played around it since some time, the LinuxPPS driver is implemented as a character driver, so several applications can read it, and as other has pointed, ntp i/f to the GPS can be implemented using shmem. ntp can also be recompiled for running in almost anything (I've put it into work both in Nios-II uClinux-MMU and Blackfin uClinux-nonMMU, also taking time from an M12 using Linux-PPS)

Best regards,

Javier
