Time-nuts,

Is it a bad idea to have more than one PPS source on a single machine?  Would 
this cause additional jitter when trying to compare the timestamps on two 
sources?  I understand that USB can't deliver a real PPS, but what about using 
onboard serial ports or a PCI card?

Thanks,
Laszlo

I can get a /dev/ppsN but ppstest says time-out.  I saw some hints that the USB 
DCD

might depend on the chipset .  I don't like gpsd so I try to avoid it but I 
might try it.

Thanks.

I don't intend to use it in production.
