I have a SiRF III based GPS receiver board with a hardware PPS output, no audio signals.  I was going to run gpsd on the system to tie the PPS into NTP with shared memory but FreeBSD's lack of support killed that off.  I'll give NetBSD a try, there's nothing else on the system so I don't mind wiping it and starting over.

I don't need IPv6 at home since my internal network is entirely IPv4 and will likely stay that way.
