I have a precision GPS-disciplined oscillator which contains
a u-blox gps module. It connects to one machine via a serial port and
works well
as a time reference. The NMEA data comes through perfectly.

You'd have to figure out what device the OS will see - serial? usb? ??
The only interface I've -seen- for them is serial but that doesn't mean
something else hasn't been made.

Then, perhaps harder, is finding a program to use the data.
