Yes, but does 'ntp.aol.com' or 'ntp.mindspring.com' or.... you get the idea actually *work* in The Real World? I am *NOT* looking for a list of "what I use" or similar - the question is a resource location problem. For a piece of shareware that could be on *any* machine in the Internet, is it worth trying 'ntp.<my-isp-here>.com', or similar? I've heard back from a guy at Exodus (thanks!! ;) regarding their scheme. Yes, I know many domains have a 'clock' or 'time' or 'clepsydra' or similar.

Apparently everybody missed the smiley on there. Yes, it exists. But do enough ISP's actually send their dialup users that data so it's worth me telling this software house "Check this value first"? -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
