Hi Charles -- I'm not aware of any PC monitoring software like that, but have you considered running the Windows port of NTP on the machines? That will automatically keep them in sync to within a few milliseconds to your server. Actually, I'm not sure that GPSCon supports the full NTP protocol, so you might need a software change at that end. By the way, if you're interested in having a *really* good time server, for less than $250 you could have a dedicated NTP server that can offer time with low microsecond accuracy. Check http://www.febo.com/time-freq/ntp/soekris/index.html for details and http://www.febo.com/time-freq/ntp/stats/index.html for real-time performance information about a stack of those machines running in my basement. I could probably be talked into putting the box together for you... 73, John _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
