Andrew,

Currently, I use CMDTIME from http://www.softshape.com/ to do scheduled
syncs twice a day.  However, I'm on a hard-wired connection, so dial-up
isn't an issue.  When I was on dial-up, I use a utility called SocketWatch
which would sit in the tray and watch for an active connection before
syncing.  You can get SocketWatch from http://www.locutuscodeware.com.

On the other machines, I just have them do a "NET TIME \\server /SET /YES"
in their login script.  If the machines are 'always on', then I'll also
perform this on a task scheduler event too.

Regards,

Jon Grieve
