<P>Address: 127.127.23.<I>u</I> <BR>
Reference ID: <TT>PTB</TT> <BR>
Driver ID: <TT>ACTS_PTB</TT><BR>
Serial Port: <TT>/dev/ptb<I>u</I></TT>; 1200 baud, 8-bits, no
parity <BR>
Requires: <TT>/usr/include/sys/termios.h</TT> header file with
modem control</P>
<H4>Description</H4>
<P>This driver supports the PTB Automated Computer Time Service
(ACTS) and it is a modified version of the NIST ACTS driver so
see it for more informations..</P>
<P>It periodically dials a prespecified telephone number, receives
the PTB timecode data and calculates the local clock correction.
It designed primarily for use when neither a radio clock nor connectivity
to Internet time servers is available. For the best accuracy,
the individual telephone line/modem delay needs to be calibrated
using outside sources.</P>
<P>The only change between this driver and the NIST one is the
data format. Infact PTB data format is the following:</P>

<P>A keyword in the ntp.conf file permits a direct connection
to a serial port of source of time like IEN CTD signal. It is
sufficient to use the string DIRECT in place of the phone number.</P>
