Hmm. I figure as much but wondered if it would actually work. I've got two machines, a modern 75MHz machine and a 386DX-40. In practice the modern machine keeps time *much* better than the 386. Both are set as peers and do updates over the 'net when I am connected. I wonder if the worse one actually skews the time on the better one. -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail <kirbyk@email.uah.edu> UAH CS <kkirby@cs.uah.edu> Home <kris@airnet.net> WWW <nomurphy@hotmail.com> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD...
