Please see the reference IDs listed on the following pages (among
others):
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver5.html
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver33.html
http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver43.html
I assembled a list based on the Official Distribution Documentation
to provide some useful information to our news-group readers in place
of the usual dismissive reply of "RTFM".
If there are errors in the documentation please contact the
documentation maintainer.
