Solaris10: xntpd is not using GPS NMEA as a time source

Hello!!
thanks to IainP: and rogerfujii, i could get the xntpd up and running, but somehow, i cannot force the xntpd to use the GPS's NMEA as a time source.
it appears xntpd is running properly, but when i inquire for the time source by ntpq -p, i am getting "No association ID's returned"
the GPS is BU-353 usb, and i am getting NMEA streamed to /dev/cua/0 which is symbolically linked to /dev/gps0
in ntp.conf, i added below
server 127.127.20.0 prefer
fudge 127.127.20.0 stratum 0
there is another solaris 10 (sparc machine) i have an access; i checked ntp.conf, but there were not many differences other than below
server 127.127.20.0 prefer
fudge 127.127.20.0 time1 0.918 stratum 0
i tried the above one, too, but the result was same (whenever i change the config, i stopped and restarted the service)
oh, the sparc seemed also using /dev/gps0 as a source for the xntpd nmea driver.
any idea??
thanks for your support & wish you a good day!!!
