I would better appreciate that list of information if I confidently / specifically knew how to access any of it. Any chance you have links to the helpful information-type things you just listed? I feel almost insulted by my ignorance right about now :( ...Like maybe I'm missing something from earlier in the mailing list. I was following the thread with // Followup (still want a GPS-type NTP refclock) // and now I don't know where this thread actually started. Am I responding to the original post? Still waking up / confused by first post I'm responding to today --Sarah _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
