> Have you phoned your ISP to ask if they provide time services ? Not directly applicable in my case; I work for my ISP. But I was at one point with Sympatico, and, while I never had occasino to ask them about NTP, I did have occasion to try to get straight answers to simple technical questions out of their "customer service" people. Based on the (non-)results I got, I would be surprised if an end-user were able to reach anyone who even knew what NTP is.
> Presuming that providers do not want you to connect to their time > servers because [...] It's not so much presuming that they don't want you to use their servers as it is not arrogating to yourself the decision of what servers and/or services are for customer consumption. Yes, your provider's webserver may wall run NTP. However, if it is not designed for customer consumption, it may "break" (change in a way that makes it no longer useful to you) at any time with no warning, such as when your provider decides to keep its webserver's time accurate through some other means. It also is just plain *rude* to assume that *anyone* else's server is free for you to use just because you can. Of course, you may be of the opinion that any resource that is accessible must be free for as much use as you can get away with, in which case we have nothing more to say to one another. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
