The recent discussion in sci.electronics regarding the accurate setting of clocks prompts this curiousness: How do long-distance telephone services maintain accuracy in time-stamping telephone connections? Precisely, how, and how often, are such clocks set, and what is their accuracy? I had no success in gleaning this information from customer service representatives at MCI and AT&T. I suppose this question is so unusual that they did not know the answer, nor know how to get the answer. Thank you, John. -- John R Ruckstuhl, Jr UUCP: sphere!ruck (or hplabs!hp-lsd!sphere!ruck) DOMAIN: ruck%sphere@hp-lsd.cos.hp.com
