Robert,

The NTP and DEC Digital Time Synchronizing Service (DTSS as DEC now calls it)
are distinctly different protocols and cannot directly interwork; however,
in most cases they could run on the same machine serving as a time gateway
between the Internet and DECnet protocol stacks. There is a document
comparing the two protocols which has been given to the ANSI committee;
however, this document is not suitable for wide distribution, since somebody
from Computerworld would instantly misuse it. If you want a copy and are
willing to thrash through the intensely technical discussion, please honk.

Dave
