[ntp:questions] Issues with ACCORD Reference Clock Driver

It would be really nice if there was a clean way to specify the
baud rate.

Several of the NMEA units I'm familiar with allow you to set
the baud rate they use.  I expect there are times when it would
be nice to run faster than 4800.

Do you want to maintain that sort of code?  Let's not go there.

That would be great.  Are there any examples of adding an option to
the server line?
