My 840AV can't handle "ntpd", even when lightly loaded. The PLL fails
completely, and it just ends up stepping every "stepout" interval.

"timed" runs fine. It manages to wrestle the clock to withing ~100 mS
most of the time. The only thing is, there are no publicly available
timed servers on the internet, so you need to set up your own master,
so it's not a solution if you only have one computer.
