Pardon my ignorance, I'm not sure what COM port the PPS is tied to or what you 
mean.

serial port for ntpd

Why not use the same COM port the PPS is tied to.  Apparently in can accept the 
3 volt serial signal.  The PPS goes to one of the control lines to create an 
interrupt and the data goes to Rx and Tx.
