Hi Ted,

       You can get details of time servers from 
http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/index.html

       A good free server is AboutTime See 
http://www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/ 
       It sends you the correct time, your computer then 'pings' AboutTime, 
which returns the signal immediatly, allowing your computer to measure and 
correct for time delays on the line.

    It is possible to buy a WWVB time receiver which automatically  corrects 
your computer or network. 

       Another alternative is to buy one of the Radio Corrected WWVB wall 
clocks with a sweep second hand. You can fit a LED and a photocell on the dial 
and sense the second hand for the minute marks. Bob does this Bobhelenmc
clure@....... - you need a large second hand to do this, or an Al foil extension. I am 
not sure what software he uses.
   
       I seem to remember that you can also buy the radio PCB and a computer 
board to decode WWVB signals from Galleon at http://www.ntp-time-server.com/ 
These are produced in Germany for all radio time systems. I use a similar 
system on DCF77 in Europe.
 
       Regards,
