I called the tech support at AT&T/Comcast yesterday, and asked if they 
had any official ntp server. The guy said no, and he is probably right, 
but I doubt the tech people know enough there to actually be certain. 
Once in a while I find someone that actually understands Linux (or a 
UNIX type system), but most people there are working on a set of 
cookie-cutter help recipes.
