Just joined the list and noticed the discussion about finding a cheap 
USB GPS with PPS on it.

I'm using one plugged into an ALIX 2d2 with Debian linux and GPSD/NTP. 
It makes for a nice 12volt NTP server for portable use.

PPS is available at a test point on the board and I noticed that ALL the 
interfaces are active at the same time !

I was able to monitor it over 232, USB and BlueTooth simultaneously from 
different PC's

For ~$40 including the antenna and free postage they're a bargain !

very nice :)

regards

Tim
