Agreed.

I thought that the NMEA driver just needed to be to the nearest second
when you had a PPS signal? As you have good Internet servers, there may
not even be a need for the NMEA driver at all (at least with recent
versions of PPS, but I'm outside my scope of knowledge here). I run
FreeBSD, ntpd 4.2.4p5-a (1), and my configuration file has:
server 127.127.20.1 mode 0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer
fudge 127.127.20.1 flag1 1 flag3 1 refid PPS
The PPS is built into the type 20 driver. Pity you can't use that.
Cheers,
David
