What's the line for that in your ntp.conf?  Any fudge lines?

What does stty say for the baud rate?
What sort of GPS device ?  What baud rate is it using?

Try stopping ntpd and running cat /dev/whatever
That should show some NMEA sentences.

------------

The 377 reach shows that something is working but the rest of the line shows 
that it isn't.

The NMEA driver is strange in that it tries to merge both the NMEA and PPS.  I 
guess that's good if it works, but it makes debugging things like this 
complicated.

I run with 2 separate servers.  Here is the chunk from my ntp.conf

server 127.127.20.0 prefer path /dev/ttyAMA0  mode 0x010011
fudge  127.127.20.0 flag1 0            # disable PPS
fudge  127.127.20.0 time2 0.600        # Fixup offset
server 127.127.22.0                    # PPS signal, needs prefer
fudge  127.127.22.0 flag2 0            # Rising edge

That turns into:
*NMEA(0)         .GPS.            0 l   31   64  377   0.0000  10.9381  27.6977
oPPS(0)          .PPS.            0 l   30   64  377   0.0000   0.0570   0.0004
