Message-ID: <1991May22.024230.23977@athena.cs.uga.edu> Date: 22 May 91 02:42:30 GMT References: Distribution: sci Organization: University of Georgia, Athens Lines: 15 There are phone numbers you can dial to get the accurate time of day by modem. Instead of trying to receive CHU or WWVB, why not simply auto- dial one of them once per day? Specifics were in PC Techniques recently. Oddly, they use 300 baud, because it's truly asynchronous (one character at a time) whereas 1200 and 2400 baud involve processing delays that are somewhat hard to control. -- ------------------------------------------------------- Michael A.
