Just sent you the source for read_tt468.c (for ntpd).  Check the format
of the input it expects (which is that of a GOES clock) and if it's
like what the 60-DC uses you might be able to use it.  If not, then
perhaps there's enough similarity that you might be able to use it as a
template for your own code.  You'll want to check both the exact format
assumed to be provided by the clock as well as how "quality" is handled
(which I'd guess might be considerably different).

To actually use it, you'll need to fiddle with ntpd.c and Makefile a bit.
I'll be glad to supply the simple diffs I use for those to get read_tt468
working if you like.
