SNTP is a small program that can be used to set the date and time on your machine. It goes out over the network to an NTP server, which generally have highly accurate time settings. (Many get their time from GPS clocks, or directly from NTP servers connected to GPS clocks.)
By the time your XT, Pentium, or whatever gets set it will probably be no more than a second different than what the rest of the known world is using. I use it to ensure that my date/time are set correctly, and to set the date/time at bootup for my older machines that don't have clock/calendar time keeping when turned off. http://brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP_Sntp.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Time_Protocol On a side note, I found another Telnet bug. In the same area of code I fixed last time. I fixed it this time, I swear. ;-0 A new release will probably go out this weekend - yell if you have found any other bugs that need to be fixed quickly. (I'd like the churn to stop .. I need a break.)
