Please respond if you see this posting.
I've been using C-Kermit to query my ISP's news server. My local
timezone is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC.
Once connected, I hit enter once, then issue the command
date
then enter, then
quit
then enter, to return back to the C-Kermit prompt:
C-Kermit 8.0.212 Dev.26, 20 Dec 2006, for Linux
Copyright (C) 1985, 2006,
Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Type ? or HELP for help.

This illustrates that the news server's clock is running about 35
minutes fast.
