[Of course, I >also thought that WWV was Navy and not NBS, but I could be wrong about >that one -- thought it was run out of the Naval Observatory).] Yes, NBS is now NTIS (National Technical Information Service). WWV (Ft. Collins, Colorado) and WWVH (somewhere in Hawaii) are both run by NTIS. Both WWV and the US Naval Observatory have phone lines for synching clocks via modem. There are lots of programs for doing it too. (I use TIMESET, because it'll use *either* time signal) -- Leonard Erickson leonard@qiclab.scn.rain.com CIS: [70465,203] 70465.203@compuserve.com FIDO: 1:105/51 Leonard.Erickson@f51.n105.z1.fidonet.org (The CIS & Fido addresses are preferred)
