     I am trying to get some information on radio clocks, specifically
the kind used to provide a reliable standard time for a LAN.  I have been
recommended to Precision Standard Time Inc. in Fremont, CA.  They make a
dandy clock called the Time Source, which is perfect for my needs.
It's a radio receiver tuned to WWV in CO, which puts out serial data
on an RS232 port.  This data, as you might've guessed, is the decoded
time according to the NBS.
 
Now here's the rub:

It seems that PSTI has disconnected their phones.  Unfortunately, I
don't know if they have simply moved, or if they are out of business.
This, as you might imagine, makes it difficult for me to order
equipment.  

Does anyone out there in netland have any information on PSTI or their
distributors?  If they have indeed gone belly up, does anyone have
information on other vendors of similar products?  Please forward this
on to anyone with knowledge.


Thanks in advance,
