[time-nuts] GSyncQ GPS Evalution Kits && NTPns

Poul et al,

If Pekka is getting the full G-SynQ kit with the interface box, RS-232
output is already provided by the box. Inside the box I ran the data and
1PPS through a couple of MAX488's and then a MAX206 to supply RS-232 levels
on the DB-9 connector that attaches to a normal serial port.

It works fine with NTPns, but you must make sure you use a RS422 card which
has an extra input so you can get the PPS signal also.

I used a Quatech card and that worked well.
