[time-nuts] USB to Serial Connectors for GPS Modules

[Matthew Smith]

Hi Folks

Are there any issues with connecting computers to GPS modules through 
USB to serial devices like the FTDI FT232R, as opposed to 'native' 
serial ports?  At the moment, I'm thinking in the context of an NTP 
server, but am interested in a general context should I need to move to 
USB-only PCs.  Didn't know if there were any latency issues or anything.

Cheers

M
