Well, yeah, you can do CDMA for clock sync, too. I've seen Arduino and Pi add-on cards that contain a GPS receiver and you basically feed the 1PPS via GPIO or something like that. I don't really want to go there. I'll keep looking around and see what I can find for standard-ish PC hardware.

The Motorola cluster managers could be an NTP server. They had load limits and would crash if you hit them too hard, but if you used it as a source for 1 or 2 servers and then distributed time to other machines from there then you would not overload it. I'm not sure about the modern CMMx
