I'm not sure then.
If you had an existing rack mounted box, then you could plug the gps
receiver into it, and get it to keep it's own clock in sync with the gps.
The receiver (or at least the antenna) needs to have a good clear horizon -
they don't work inside buildings and definitely not in rack cabinets.

Mmm... I was in fact looking for something more "plug & play".
That is, a rack mounted server. Give it a IP address, and the're you go,
an NTP server.
Some people from the list have directed me to www.datum.com. They
seem OK. I've asked for a quotation as they don't provide prices on their
web site.
