I don't know the current inaccuracy of any of       my computers which use NTP.              Previously I had a so-called 'atomic clock' in the house, which sync/ed       itself off the radio signal from Fort Collins CO US each day, and       maintained time w/ a typical quartz crystal.              So, I'm back to my 'original' qx; what kind of precision do you       currently have and what kind of precision do you think you need?              --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
