Philip, Try Bancomm Division of Datum, Inc. Their address is in the clock.txt file in the usual place. They were alleged to be working on such a beast, but I'm sure it will not be cheap. Austron makes LORAN-C timing receivers, but they cost $20K up. Cheapest thing known to me for submillisecond time is the Motorola MX4200, for which there is even an xntp3 driver. There are conflicting reports on its price, which I thought was in the $3K range. This is a GPS receiver. The most stable time I know, and this includes GPS, comes from a LORAN-C timing receiver, at least as long as the GPS wiggle machine is running, which is probably forever. I have built a couple of these things, which amount to a plug-in PC card and fancy control program. While the latest version is not real hard to duplicate and I do have etched PC boards, I don't recommend it unless there is some local talent for radio construction and alignment. Dave
