You can forgo the local freq. std. if your just want to run an NTP 
server. They're great to have, but can be added later. "Most" GPS's with 
a serial connection will work well enough for many applications. The 
Motorola OnCores are supposed to be quite good. I'd like to say I've got 
mine up and running, but the truth is that I've spent the past week 
dealing with the disaster of a fish pond in my back yard.
