I have obtained this programme from the Demon hensa mirror, but I can't get
it to work.

I am entering
<nettime -server ntp.demon.co.uk -tcp>
and get the response
<ntp.demon.co.uk: no such host?>

Since ntp.demon.co.uk is Demon's time server I am somewhat mystified by this
response.

Can anybody assist me please?
