I'm amazed it quickly converges, using separate NMEA and PPS on mine, 
with the correct offset, and correct drift file, its an hour or 2 before 
it finishes going 500ppm/step/500ppm/step.

Running around 600ms offset now, I charted it against PPS, and it looks 
roughly like 560-640 ms, slowly going back and forwards across the day.

Using combined NMEA and PPS it just ignores the NMEA until the PPS is 
working, but thats not as self-sufficient as i'd like.

Thanks for your notes on Freebsd stuff, helped a lot setting it up.
