Anyone know of xntp being ported to the Apollo SR10.3 and the IBM RS 6000? I'd
like to hear where I can obtain the animal, if so. E-mail and I'll summarize if
enough interest is shown...

   Anyone know of xntp being ported to the Apollo SR10.3 ?

I posted some patches to the net a while back which work for stratum-2
and higher.  I think somebody has them archived where they're
available for anonymous FTP (some place at umich, I think).  I don't
recall the details -- check with comp.sys.apollo .

There are a couple of problems with using SIGIO on tty devices on
Domain/OS, so I wound up changing the daemon to not use SIGIO at all.
I'm running it here as a stratum 1 talking to a PSTI radio clock
(behind HP's security firewall), and it seems to keep reasonable but
not exceptionally good time.

I could make these patches available if you're interested in using an
apollo as a reference clock.
