Dear Unix Experts,
I'd like to have your words of wisdom on the feasability of
a time server for microsecond accuracy to run on a Sun3
workstation (Unix).
I'll have a device which will attatch to one of the serial
tty ports, providing a rising edge on the second. I would like to
use this rising waveform to reset a clock or to signal a process
that won't be swapped out (is this a sign of naivete or what?).
Can it be done with Unix? I'm running SunOS 3.5 (4.2 BSD Unix).
Please mail your replies directly to me:
DDN: dfrank@nosc.mil
UUCP: {ihnp4,akgua,decvax,dcdwest,ucbvax}!sdcsvax!nosc!dfrank
Thank you for your efforts,
Respectfully yours,
David Frank
