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.
