I wanted to note that gpsd attached to one of the prototype devices
with eric's magic modification is up and serving time at one of the
RRUL test sites now.

( http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/codel/wiki/RRUL_test_suite )

I just started collecting rawstats data against ntp with it.

It sees an astounding 12 sats.

I'll update to the latest code there, too.
