We make use of the GPS' pulse-per-second signal to stay tightly coupled
with the GPS time. We are required to locate things with sub-meter  
accuracy
in a vehicle traveling at 90 km/h. So part of our system is an inertial
navigation system. The PPS signal is on one of the GPS control lines.
We had considered a serial->USB converter. They do work fine with the
GPS - but no PPS signal. It is always something, no? BTW, Linux lets to
monitor these changes in a pleasant manner.
