There's a number you can call at what used to be NBS that has a modem
and gives you the time.  One of the scripts that comes with
MacKnowledge calls this and uses the result to set the Mac clock.
The documents for this script claim that it even corrects for
phone line delay.

I had this set the time on my Mac, and then compared it to WWV.
The Mac clock and WWV were synchronized exactly within the limits
of my ability to perceive.
