Later Will S Unfortunately it doesn't work the same as in OS9, as it only provides a manual sync with Network Time button. I guess it might work if the computer was always connected to dsl or cable but as you know that's not possible with dialup. Seems Apple didn't consider that not everybody has dsl in this world when they wrote X. I checked VersionTracker and there doesn't seem to be a third party software fix, there at least. I guess there could be a way to trick it? Maybe a schedule or command that has it check each time an internet connection is established? I don't know, thinking out loud.
