Yes, networking fully setup and functional:

I'm using a ssh shell sesssion from a Windows7 PC, so I can have
Gravity, Firefox and the BSD console open on the same screen, even
copy/paste between them.
The ntpd daemon is running, currenty syncing with 'net based servers,
and in turn serving up time locally. All that appears to be working OK.
(not sure about warwicknet and the reach value of 333!)

(that got wrapped)
Just that I (mistakenly) omited to install the system sources when doing
the base install. Else, I'd probably be all done and dusted as far as
PPS based time sync goes.
It seems however, there may be an alternative way to enable PPS support,
from another message in this thread.
Then, I can get the GPS hardware connected, just using the 'net as
fallback if the GPS system "burps". Heck, this time I might even add
the server to the uk pool, if that doenst tip my hand with my ISP.
Best Regards.
