Hello,

        I would like to amend the question: does anybody run a NTP
server which does not depend on GPS?

        For example, the Rb oscillators are not prohibitedly expensive,
so it should be possible to have a battery-backed atomic oscillator together
with GPS time source, and - in paranoid mode - synchronize the time from
GPS only once, and then use the local oscillator, possibly with triggering
an alarm when the GPS time and the oscillator-based time diverges too much.

        Did anybody attempt to do something similar? Thanks,

-Y.

         Like most things in Windows, on the surface it looks great.
