[lug] Time sync w/GPS or radio

[Gary Hodges]

I have some remote machines w/o internet access.  I get around that by 
dialing in a couple times a day, but I've never liked that solution. 
But what prompted me to start looking for a solution is...  You all will 
love this...  I have a machine on the net behind the firewall of a very 
large government organization where I'm not able to use a time server 
outside the network.  And, get this, they don't keep the time set on 
their internal time server.

In case anyone is interested, I got a price quote from that UK vendor 
this morning.  $1590 for a GPS solution and $995 for a WWVB solution.
