I came across a dos based time service program that used a Hayes modem to
autodial the Naval Observatory in the Wash. DC area (I think) and retrieved
the REAL time (plus/minus a second or so). If anyone knows of source for a
similar program that I could port to my UNIX system I'd appreciate having it.

Thanks.
