Today I thought I'd hook up a simple DCF77 radio clock receiver,
serial port type, by way of a USB-to-serial converter.  Just to see
how this compares to the same gadget hooked up to an actual serial
port (which are getting rare).
ntpd[37130]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Sun Jul  6 13:31:43 CEST 2008 (1)
ntpd[37130]: PARSE receiver #1: parse_start: tcsetattr(14, &tio): Input/output error
ntpd[37130]: internal error: refclockio structure not found
It turns out that uplcom(4) adapters don't support the required
speed of 50 baud anymore.
The times they are a-changin'.
[Please note that I have posted this as a curious observation; it
is not a request for assistance.]
