ntpd 4.2.5p20 at 1.1513-o
Garmin GPS25-HVS
serial connection
Dell gx1 with a p2-350 sitting under the desk headless and diskless

I have a couple of static pages I keep around that I use as a reference.

My benchmark is http://www.users.on.net/~boddingt/ntp/freebsd/ with that 
hardware. Default polling intervals for ref clocks and servers.

Looking at http://www.users.on.net/~boddingt/ntp/linux/ 2.6.21 seems to be a 
little better than what I remember from 2.6.20 but not a lot. I gave up and set 
minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 Tuesday morning.


The live page is at http://aiken.dnsalias.org/cgi-bin/ntp which is updated 
every 5 minutes.
