The manual for ntpd(8) says:

     NOTES
          Please choose your NTP peers carefully; send mail to
          ntp@TRANTOR.UMD.EDU for assitance.

Reed is gatewayed onto NorthWestNet (a part of NSFNET) via a gateway
to washington.edu at ogi.edu.  I've asked for assistance from OGI as
well, but they seem to be busy with finals or something silly like
that.	:-)

Here are my to ntpd configuration files for the moment (following some
of the various README's).  We're only using two local stratum-2 hosts
at the moment (I may add a third when another appropriate machine
arrives).

These machines are running the ntpd supplied with DECstation Ultrix,
by the way.
