[ntp:questions] Problem with Z3801A ASII data

I have a Z3801A that I can't seem to get the proper ASCII data stream 
out of.  I'm using a Sun Ultra 5 running FreeBSD 5.3 and ntp-4.2.0 which 
has been patched for the 19200 7o1 serial settings the Z3801A wants. 
When I start ntpd I get the following type of stuff in clockstats and, 
of course, ntp will never sync to the Z3801A.

If I connect it to a Windows box it will talk to HP's SatStat program 
just fine.

Here is the output from stty for the serial port:

speed 19200 baud; 0 rows; 0 columns;

cchars: discard = ^@; dsusp = ^@; eof = ^@; eol = ^@; eol2 = ^@;
         erase = ^@; erase2 = ^@; intr = ^@; kill = ^@; lnext = ^@;
         min = 0; quit = ^@; reprint = ^@; start = ^@; status = ^@;
         stop = ^@; susp = ^@; time = 0; werase = ^@;

Any ideas?

thanks, Philip
