[LinuxPPS] Usability of current status + TTYUSB

[Felix Joussein]

Hello,

can anyone tell me, how the current code (in the kernel) can be used now 
to create a
nano-pps enabled ntpd server?
It's not done by checking the PPS to M | Y in the kernel config.
What about the userland tools (ppsldisc or ldattach), that existed when 
the code was not in the kernel yet?
What to do after compiling the kernel?
The wiki seams not to  be up to date, as it still describes kernel 
patching etc...

An other thing that has come up is the fact that many state of the art 
low-energy PCs like the new Foxconn N270 (11Watt, 14Watt burst) do not 
have a serial or parallel port.
Unfortunately those interface types are totally out-fashioned.
Did anyone think about using USB? Or at least make usb-serial dongle 
work? Or - what about using a analog modem-line (RJ11) at least it's 
also a serial device? Many of those have one. Or even better - using a 
NIC-Interface?

Thanks for your answers,

Felix
