Re: Accurate Clock



Many Thanks for the prompt reply guys, I'm stunned by the speed of
this group!

On the basis that I'm having ADSL installed next week, I'm still
getting used to the concept of always on Web Access.

I know it will work with a dial up, but I like the idea of using a
dedicated ADSL link for the accurate time. All I need to do now is
hunt down a server I can get the weather and trafic reports from, and
integrate that with the alarm announcement!

Don't want much eh!

Mitch
