I guess you're out of luck then :( It would be pretty straightforward to get a microcontroller to interface=20 to it instead (eg dual UART) Hmm, I wonder if you can oversample and use a higher baud rate=20 (obviously would require modified ntpd) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1393856.Z4p6ae6Ftv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.8 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBIeU2j5ZPcIHs/zowRAnQQAKCMmsEp3Caj0csgaxuqbpUUnfFJngCfYoO/ zx0LL324xuaSwnaKEDeUDPQ= =r2eE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1393856.Z4p6ae6Ftv--
