I find that the PPM error reported by NTP differs from the real PPM error consistently by about 2.5 PPM. i.e. when measured over a time period of several days, the difference between the actual PPM error and the reported PPM error varies slightly above and slightly below 2.5 PPM.

James, is the average PPM about right?  I'm not sure you can expect more 
than that.
