Hi David,

somehow you keep getting me wrong, so again in full: I am using:
NMEA, not PPS, because the receiver (u-blox LEA-4H module) has noise on the PPS-line. NMEA is in text-mode and the receiver COULD do binary-mode, wich I don't use.

The 600 ms also occur using networked server (also wrote so before..), so the error comes from elsewhere.
