[Soekris] Soekris 4501 drift? ... NTP issue

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The high jitter is normal when the system is unable to "tune" the  
local clock far enough.

How old is the 4501 box? Everything I have seen in the last few  
months has been very close to the correct frequency.

Turning off NTP and just checking the system time against a wrist  
watch should sort out what's going on pretty fast.
