Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info.  I'm going to look into that to see if it's a 
better or worse solution than the NIST time client I'm already running 
(from NIST).  Anything that keeps the computer to +/- .5 sec drift 
between syncs is fine with me.  It would be nice to use the same server 
list that I do on Linux so I can have redundant servers if a fallback is 
needed.

Sincerely,

Ron
