Support for devices that talk things other than NMEA 0183 and <br>
slightly atypical PPS wiring isn't enough. <br>

<p>That sentence confuses me, James. Was it written as a question?
(i.e. "gpsd supports these other things. Isn't that enough reason
to use it?")<br>
</p>
<p>In my case, the built in reference drivers are handling my
desired GPS sentences correctly, and my PPS is working just fine.
They've been running for a few weeks without incident, and
delivering a less jittery time than my previous installation
(using the same GSP module and refclocks with ntpd). I'm looking
for a compelling reason to change to "refclock shm" and gpsd on
this new ntpsecd installation.<br>
</p>
<p>But since it has obviously been running for several weeks now,
the urgency of my question is low. If this remains stable for a
few more weeks, I'll probably bolt it into my production system as
one of the time sources.<br>

<p>Me thinks an email list server which sits on messages for months
and months is more of a hindrance than a help. What are my other
choices to talk to people who care about ntpsecd? I haven't
looked, is comp.protocols.time.ntp still active? <br>
