	I know that our Pyramid (OSx 4.4) switches time correctly.  I would
suspect that Nixdorf's would also, provided they had the latest version of OSx
(or whatever Nixdorf calls it -- TOS I would guess from your posting) running 
on them (since they're just repackaged Pyramids -- at least some of them are 
-- I'm not familiar with Nixdorf's whole product line).
