- I just found a shareware thingi (NAVYTIME.ZIP) that has a batch file
- that will call some place in Washington DC and set the server time
- via the Naval Clock. I use the batchfile to login to all of our servers
- and set the time automatically.
-
- I got the file from a BBS in Maryland (Baltimore?) called "The Painframe".
- Its on the Novell file distribution network (a Fido network). I don't
- know the number offhand (its at home) but you if you call a Fidonet board
- around you the sysop may be convinced to help you out and look in his nodelist
- for the Maryland area.
- Or send me a mail message at home "Joe.Beiter@arden.linet.org" where I hav
- the number handy. The Painframe has a ton of Novell stuff and all the stuff
- found on Compusplurge without the Compusplurge prices (just give him some
- equally usefull files).
-
- Take note, the Novell file distribution net has nothing to do with the
- Novell company. Just a bunch of sysadmins that can't leave work at work.
- (Gads we have the best jobs on earth!)
