Well it depends to what lengths and expense you want to go to for accuracy.
The ultimate would be to get the Heathkit "Most Accurate Clock".  It is a
special clock which recieves WWV(The NBS time standard) and constantly
recilabrates itself.  It has an RS-232 interface and Heath sells MS-DOS
interface software.  There has been some posting about it on sci.electronics
in the past month.  The clock is about $250 and the software is $25.
