Thanks for the pointer to gpsclock 200.  The online specs for it are
kind of underwhelming though:

        from: http://www.gpsclock.com/specs.html
                Timing accuracy: 
                                Plus or minus 1 microsecond
                                to UTC
                cost $375

Good gps clocks are now in the 100's of nanoseconds or better.  Most
random $100 - $200 OEM boards are this range. A good survey of the OEM
board market is at:

I recently picked up a motorola oncore M12 for the introductory price
of $100. (w. antenna, wall-wart power supply, 2 rs-232 port and 1
rs-232 cable, no case though.  It is just a plain card.)  Even off
special this package is only $200.
