I was overly casual.  Back when Frank was getting started he said he wanted
a frequency reference and then realized it would nice to have PPS for NTP.
>From that perspective it seems that monitoring your GPSDO is more important
than numbering your seconds.  So given a single serial output I would
suggest running LH, Z38XX etc. to stay apprised of the state of the GPSDO
and letting whatever consumes the PPS sort out acquiring coarse time.

That was the main point I failed to make and the NTP/refclock details
really are a distraction.  My bad.
