I just tried it with the primary name server of my ISP and
BINGO! Just like you predicted, it works! Good thinking
Eko. BTW, it also works with my pop3 server.
I wonder, though, about the acuracy of my ISP compared
to the NIST server in Boulder. I would trust the NIST
people to keep things together, but eventhough my ISP is a
good one, they could easily screw up on something like
this which would be trivial to them. The NIST people are
in the business of keeping time, and are accountable.
Nevertheless, it is really only academic to me, since I
just want to set my house clocks. <g>
