Has anyone used a system on FreeBSD, any version, which could sync the system clock from an external source other than via xntpd/timed? I need to sync to the clock at a cable headend for insertion of digital video programming. For non-relevent reasons I can't just drop a time card with drivers into the NT box doing the actual playback. I *can* get a version of ntp for NT, but would rather have a nice bsd box doing time syncs than pay MS more $$ for another NT license. The specific hardware involved is from W Clark & Associates. My choices are an ISA card (TCR 500) and an RS-232 (TCI 232) box from which you can read the time/date. Once I got the time into a FreeBSD box I could xntpd serve off it. More info available at http://www.masterclock.com. Thanks in advance for any pointers:) --- David Miller ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!
