I once had a nifty program which called NBS and synchronized my
computer's clock with theirs. My copy on disk broke a couple of years
ago, and I lost the spare which was in my library of diskettes.

Per your previous posting, I thought you might have a copy of this
program, or could tell me where to find it. It was accompanied by
some very interesting text about how the two computers negotiate their
connection, determine what the various delays are, and ultimately get
the two clocks (somewhat) in sync.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

PS: TELECOM Digest is great reading...


[Moderator's Note: Readers? Can anyone send Jim the program he wants,
or advise him which public directory he can ftp to get it?   PAT]

PS: I think so too! :) Thanks for writing.
