- You bet. There's a command included with cron 1.0d10 (the current version)
- which implements a TCP-based RFC 868 Time Protocol client.

- The only reason this might not work for you is if the NeXT (like ULTRIX
- boxes) has the TCP-based Time Protocol demon disabled in its default
- configuration. If this is the case, I expect that it should be pretty
- straightforward to find and enable the demon.
