+1 on the freesd-or-linux. with say a Garmin GPS-18x or whatever
timing puck. Have an intern or junior tech tackle it as a learning
exercise. The time geeks on comp.protocols.time.ntp seem to favor
low-power Soekris hardware (http://soekris.com/) for stratum-1s. You
need RS232 serial to get decent PPS; USB introduces tons of jitter.
If you have to have something pre-integrated and soon, I'd look at Meinberg:
