Folks, Rather a lot of primary timetellers are down due various causes. These include clepsydra.dec.com, down for module replacements, wwvb.isi.edu, down for manual restart after putting in a route to DARTNET, timer.nta.no for unknown cause, timer.unik.no for manaual reboot after software upgrade, apple.com for unknown cause and norad.arc.nasa.gov for out of tolerance (>500 ms). A secondary at SURA, clock.sura.net, advertised in clock.txt hopefully will shortly come to life, having been born clock.umd.edu. Checking loads, I see that the NSFNET secondary servers have doubled the number of peers since last I checked, but at 60-80 per machine there is lots of horsepower left. The primary machines have still some cycles left, but their accuracy has slipped somewhat due to the intense bombardment of well over one packet per second (average). We still need secondary server volunteers, especially on the Pacific coast and overseas. Dave
