How "little" is the linux box? NTP runs fine on my 1.8Ghz Atom powered box. It even runs on the ARM powered router. I've never seen a box to small. Even a smart phone is over kill But, no, you can't distribute PPS over the network. It will be so poor that NTP will reject it. Or to put it another way it will bee so poor that you may as well not use it, just connect to another NTP server. In fact, an NTP to NTP connection over the same network would be better then a PPS connection over the same network because with the NTP to NTP case the delay is measured -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ 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.
