There soon will be...  Lady Heather 5.0 works on Windows/Linux/macOS and can talk to the Z38xx boxes.

The stock ntpd has worked with HP Smartclocks for about two decades now. It
is the "GPS_HP" module. The documentation mostly refers to the HP58503A but
for all ntpd purposes, the Z3801A is the same except for different default
baud rates and serial parameters.

ntpd is not point-and-drool "watch the satellites move individually in real
time via graphics" software. ntpd is "turn it on and leave it" software.
Logging via standard ntpd logfiles can produce some good long-term EFC
statistics but again it is not point-and-drool stuff.
