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.
