After finding these, and buying a couple, I found item 220915477952 
U-Blox RCB-LJ receiver boards, cheaper ($9) and (I think) newer.

If I have the spec sheets figured out, the TIM-CJ module uses a SiRF II 
module and the RCB-LJ uses ANTARIS.  Anybody know the difference?

I used one of these boards, the RCB-LJ if I remember correctly, in about 
2004.  It provided both location (fixed) and time, but we did not need 
really high precision timing.  10s of microseconds was good enough.  Our 
main selection criteria was low power.
