Unfortunately, ntp isn't going to average on that kind of timescale. So it also depends on the amount of difference and when in the cycle you disconnect. If you think of the applied correction as the slope of a slow sine wave, you'll "fly off" when the server disappears. If you're unlucky and that happens at the steepest part of the wave, then correction could drive the clock away more rapidly than you might expect. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
