The standard/reference NTP package (ntpd) has a driver that supports Trimble
Palisade and Thunderbolt.
For questions like that, it helps if you mention what OS you are interested
in.
For Windows, Meinberg maintains an installer packaged with a usually
up-to-date version of ntpd.

For Linux, *BSD and such, ntp/ntpd is normally part of the distribution.
Depending upon how the ntpd you get was built, it may or may not include the
Trimble driver. I think it is normally included. If not, I think the error
message will be obvious, after you find it.
If you have troubles getting it going, let me know (off-list) and I'll try to
help. There are a lot of people with Thunderbolts. We should have a good
web page for how to use them.
