[comp.sys.mac.apps] Clock setting by phone?

briang@bari.Eng.Sun.COM (Brian Gordon) (11/11/90)

Does anyone know of an app that will dial out to some accurate number either on
a schedule or on demand and reset the (relatively poor) Mac clock?

When I first got my CX, the clock ran to fast (or was it to slow).
Whatever, a init called ClockAdjust solved my problems. (see at
sumex-aim).

I have a file that will dial a number and set your clock. I don't remember
where I got it, but if you email me, I'll upload it and send it to you.
