Thanks Debbie,

Your posting gives a good solution with useful "how-to" instructions
for a serious problem faced by lots of people who (for whatever reason)
do not have general internet access.

The icing on the cake is to get the software from NIST that will allow
a unix host to dial in to the NIST clock server once in a while and
adjust the "local stratum 1" clock to keep reasonably near to standard time.

To get a copy this software, write or phone NIST at

	Office of Standard Reference Materials
	Chemistry Building, Room B311
	NIST
	Gathersburg, MD 20899

	(301)-957-OSRM  (OSRM=6776)

Ask for the "Automated Computer Time Service" software.  It comes on
PC/MS-DOS 5.25-in floppys.  You will have to figure out for yourself
how to upload it to your unix box.

Enjoy!

Rick
