Thanks for the neat toy.
I didn't appreciate what was going on until I tried to graph the results.
A NetBSD box stalled the clock for a second starting at 00:00:00.5
Two Linux boxes set the clock back 1 second at 23:59:60
(One 2.4 kernel, one 2.6.)
One got a line of printout in 00:00 before the clock was set back.
I also got data from 2 NMEA GPS clocks.
A Garmin 18-LVC transmitted a duplicate second at 00:00:00
(This matched the documentation.)
A GPSClock 200 had a duplicate second at 23:59:51. ??
