There is a cdev available on mac.archive.umich.edu called ClockAdjust which does just this. Guenther Blaschek, the author of PopChar, wrote it. It's been around quite a while, and I don't know how it is under System 7.0, but it seemed pretty good. Then again, you could also use *my* cdev :-) called Network Time, which sets the clock every so often using MacTCP and a timeserver. Lots of other stuff out there too.
