The way NCAR does it, I believe, is with a WWV Radio. This is looks like a spendy item. I don't have details, but the NSFNet hubs seem to have them in conjuction with their fuzzballs. Jeff Forys (forys@boulder.colorado.edu) wrote a program called 'settime' that allows one to Query the fuzzball to get the time. It takes transmission times into account and is 'pretty neat'. This actually works with any machine with the network time server configured in, we just query the fuzzball because it's hooked up to the WWV clock. Glenn P.
