I have ported xntp to run under NOS.  NOS (Network Operating System, I
think) is a program for the PC written by Phil Karn (KA9Q) for use
with packet radio (though it is not limited to use over packet
radio--it works with a vast number of PC network cards).  NOS is a
non-preemptive multi-tasking system for the PC that speaks IP, UDP,
TCP, SMTP, telnet, ftp, and many more acronyms.  It lacks being a
complete operating system only in that it can't load and run arbitrary
programs from disk--all its tasks must be compiled into it.  I have
ported xntpd so that it runs in this environment.  If you want to try
this out, you will need your own copy of NOS and the Turbo C compiler
with which to compile it.  NOS is available for anonymous FTP from the
directory uscd.edu:hamradio/ka9q/nos.

My port appears to work, so I would like to give it out to anyone who
would like to give it a try.  The port is (at best) a beta release.
It is available as a README, a set of diffs from NOS version 910614,
and a bunch of xntp source files.  The changes to NOS are relatively
minor, so it should work with any relatively recent version of NOS.

If there is enough demand, I can compile an executable with ntp in it
and make that available as well.

The distribution is available for anonymous ftp in
allspice.lcs.mit.edu:pub/ath/nosntp.tar.Z
