There's also a free port of NTP (Network Time Protocol) for NT and Win2k.
Not sure if it will work under the other Windows OSs. See this page
http://www.five-ten-sg.com/ for download links.

Recently I have been using it to test a new feature in WinSDR. This feature
allows my new Serial Output A/D board (or the DOS program SDRServr.exe) to
use the computer it is sending data too as a time reference source. I can
check the accuracy of NTP running on my Win2K system  (933Mhz PIII system
with 256K of memory) and GPS time with an oscilloscope. One channel of the
o-scope is connected to the 1 PPS output of the GPS receiver and the other
channel of the o-scope is connected up to the 1 PPS output of the A/D board
(pin 12 on the serial A/D board and pin 18 on the ISA A/D board).

I was very pleased with the results of my testing. NTP was able to keep my
A/D board time accurate to within +-10 milliseconds. Too get this type of
accuracy you need a high speed connection to the Internet and you need to
find a NTP server near you.
