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.
