I've now got the Garmin GPS 18 plugged in to my time server at
81.174.173.221, and my current offset is now no more than 0.010 ms, with
a jitter of around 0.001. I'm also connected to a few goodish internet
servers coming in on an asymmetrical 2Mb/288Kb adsl line.

Clearly I need to fudge a time offset for the gps, corresponding to
mean hardware and os delays. My goodish servers are showing offsets of
between -6ms -- +4ms and it is unclear which one I should choose as a
base: this approach may not even be sensible. It may well be that I must
be content with accuracy of around the ms level, even though the gps is
potentially 100 times more accurate.

This must be a common problem. Where do I go from here?
