This from Dave Mills pages on public NTP servers: --------------------------------------------------------

y2k-test.timefreq.bldrdoc.gov (132.163.135.136) Location: NIST Boulder Laboratories, Boulder, Colorado Synchronization: ACTS dial-up using modified lockclock algorithm, DEC Alpha/UNIX Service Area: All areas Access Policy: Open access. This server will transmit time packets that are fast by exactly 2 years (63158400 seconds). It is intended to help users test the y2k performance of their systems. The advance is set so that the year is 2 years in the future but the remainder of the time is correct. Thus the message transmitted at any time on 1 November 1998 will have a time corresponding the same time of day on 1 November 2000, etc. It will operate from Mid-October 1998 through the end of 1999. Contact: Judah Levine (jlevine@time.nist.gov) 303 492 7785 Note: This system is intended for test purposes only and it should be used with care. Although NTP itself should not have a problem handling dates in the year 2000, many host operating systems cannot do so, and system crashes or data corruption are possible if the date is set using this test facility.
