OSX and Network Time

John,

Thanks for the tip to use time.apple.com! It works perfect via my ISP,
the Great Barrier Reef.

Dick-

I suppose there are lots of time servers on the net. Another I've used is at
the Naval Observatory, tick.usno.navy.mil or tock.usno.navy.mil.

If you're running OS 9 or earlier, there is the "Network Time" Control Panel by
Pete Resnick. I have version 2.01 dated 1993, that works under OS 9.2.2. It
can be set up for various update options. I have a dial-up ISP, so it is kept
in the Apple Menu folder. That way it won't update the time unless I manually
initiate it.
