[time-nuts] 3339 Interface for Linux? - was New timing receivers?

[Bob Stewart]

I was wondering if anyone has a decent interface to the Adafruit and related receivers for Linux?  By that, i mean something like the Windows tools that Globaltop provides, or even just the ability to separate out the responses to the PMTK commands from the NMEA traffic.
