[LinuxPPS] Some Info about the Project I'm working on

[Adam Becker]

Thank you all for your input. 

Hopefully the following will help clear up how the system is configured:
1) PPS - CPU's 1, 2, and 3 receive PPS via I/O pins on their parallel
port
2) GPS - Only CPU 1 receives via COM1. 
3) Processor Communications
	a) CPU 1 - COM2 to  CPU 2 - COM1
	b) CPU 1 - COM3 to  CPU 3 - COM1
4) Accurate - As accurate as possible

I really like the idea of using ethernet to sync the clocks. To do so
I'm thinking I'll incorporate a switch into the system. However, I'm
concerned about how reliable messages sent using ethernet are. Isn't
their some lag time and acknowledgment issues sending/receiving data via
ethernet?

I truly appreciate all the help. 

Adam
