Greetings time-nuts,
I've finally gotten the software for my NTP server project to the point
where I'm comfortable shipping the boards I have now, so it's about time
to spin the next revision. If you could take a minute to look over the
feature list and let me know on- or off-list what you'd like to see,
hardware or software, I'd really appreciate it.

Michael,
This looks to be a delightful little box, and I hope to be buying one in due
course.
Suggestions and questions:
- NTP management: can this device be managed with the normal NTP commands?
I would like to see it responding to at least "ntpq -p" and "ntpq -c rv"
commands. The ntpq -p should show whether the device is locked to the GPS
or not.
- ideally, NTP log files should be available over FTP (FTP to allow remote
purging of older files).
- some way of determining the satellite status (number and signal level)
over the 'net would be helpful.
- how well would the device perform during a GPS signal interruption? Is
the 10 MHz lock used to time NTP, and held over for a certain period?
- although I've never used it, I do like Chris's suggestion of power over
Ethernet. I see dozens of choices in Amazon's lists - is there a standard
for the power adapter and level?
A ready to go item with patch antenna would suit my needs - likely it would
be placed in the loft rather than outdoors. Having 10 MHz available would
be very useful as well.
I think that's enough to be getting on with!
Cheers,
David
