I would still very much like to have a low-powered (watts) system
running NTP perhaps with a good (for timekeeping) FreeBSD version.
Something the size of a home router, with a serial port for the GPS.
Looking for better than (say) ten microsecond accuracy. About US
$100-150.
Unpack and Work or Fiddle a Bit ?
For Fiddle a Bit:
There is a wide spectrum of hardware available.
Take any of the Low Cost Thin clients ( Linux on ARM )
Take any of the "InternetRadio" sets ( same, Linux on ARM )
Take any of the Low Cost Router/WlanAccessPoint Hardware that
can have OpenWRT or similar installed. ( Linux on usually ARM )

Some even have ntpd in their package repository ;-)

Thanks for that, Uwe. Ideally, unpack and work!
A lot of hardware either doesn't have the serial port, or is grossly
over-priced (as it may be intended for "industrial" applications).
I think I would want a ready-to-run NTP, as I don't "do" Linux. Something
configurable via a Web interface.
Routers would indeed be a good choice, but there are hundreds! Someone
must have already researched the possibilities and be able to advise
models with a serial port and quality NTP?
Cheers,
David
