From Multinet's (tcp/ip for VMS) NTP (made by TGV, TWG is Wollongong
and they make Win/tcp for VMS) I get the following display.

Could someone please provide an explanation of the first column,
Reach, and Disp? (Multinet NTP docs don't even say how to get this
display, no less talk about it.)

And why is truechimer.cso.uiuc at stratum 0?? It's supposed to be a
WWVB clock, and it is currently pingable!

Dave, I do find this display useful to diagnose network problems,
also! :-)
