	The program referenced here uses a modem to dial into the USNO.
	Does anyone know of a way of doing the same thing via an
	internet connection?  Presumably ``rdate'' would work reasonably
	well if the connection is fast.  But what is the Naval Obs.'s
	internet address?  Is there a better way than rdate?

(x)ntpdate?
