[ntp:questions] Re: NTP sync on a standalone network (Windows 2k)

[David L. Mills]

Hal,

An EndRun C.ntp CDMA NTP server showed up on my desk one day. It works 
anywhere where a CDMA cell phone works. I have in the basement with the 
small cell antenna at grade level. Works very well.

If you can borrow a telephone line and modem about once every 36 hours, 
the ACTS and USNO drivers perform quite well.
