It would obviously be far simpler to run a second PPS line from the
original PPS device, it's just RS-232 levels after all. I presume that
this is not possible for your environment?
There was a Microsoft research paper quoted here recently showing that a
specially configured NTP could get within (IIRC) a few tens of
microseconds for playing audio streams. Maybe some tips from that
article?
