Another good solution is to have one of your routers (we use a Cisco 
7507) configured as the NTP client of the cesium clock, and as the 
server to the rest of the network.  All of our Linux instances go to 
the router to set their clocks.  Considering the 4:00 PM stampede, I 
suppose some of the IS staff use it on their workstations, too.

 Stephen,

 You can run NTP on your Linux/390 systems.  I do on mine.  The only
 caveat I would have is that if you have VM and wind up running
 hundreds of Linux/390 guests, you don't want them all trying to
 contact an external timing source. Some folks have set up one guest
 as the local timekeeper, and the others guests talk to it.
