As a sysadm at a Canadian Internet site setting up NTP, I am interested in using the canadian standard clock (CHU) as the reference. Perusing clock.txt, I found the only CHU clock to be at UofT, and it appears to be un-reachable from my site (ping doesn't :-). I've written to the contact at UofT: a deafening silence ensued... I'm currently running NTP in test mode syncing to WWVB clocks. As far as I can tell (not very well), CHU and WWVB appear to be in good agreement. Since there is no CHU site at present, I am interested in setting one up. Is there anyone out there who knows about setting up radio clocks, with a particular interest in one to receive CHU signals. Technical and cost info are both wanted. Sources for clock H/W would be great too! -- Peter Silva OS Support psilva@cid.aes.doe.ca Dorval Computing Centre (514) 421-4692 Atmospheric Environment Service

Peter, Dennis Ferguson, intrepid UT clocker, has not been heard for some longish eons. He is/was the keeper of CHUtick, xntp and the meanest dedicated silicon NTP chimer in town. If you do manage to toll his bell, wean away a copy of his 68000 board and modem, then bring up your own CHU chu. Paal Spilling (paal@nta.no) in fact cloned Dennis' silicon sans modem for use in Norway. Last I heard Paal could't toll his bell either; however, if you can't find Dennis, who when last seen was wandering the CA*NET fijords, try ding Paal for info. Dave
