FreeBSD/Linux audio mods and irig freq

2002-01-25 Thread Harlan Stenn
So I seem to have the libntp/audio.c stuff working under FreeBSD, and I'm noticing that while the IRIG refclock seems to be working pretty well, as time passes the "freq" value slowly and steadily increases to the point where it exceeds 250 and ntpd stops paying attention to the clock. Any though
