RE: AS/400 Time Server Software (Was Re: Daytime Service on the AS/400)

Well, it turns out that the ClearTracs can poll for time using the
implementation spelled out in RFC868. I'd like to use our AS/400 as the time
server, offering its time to any device when port 37 is opened. I've looked
around on the net looking for such a program but there is nothing to be
found.

Perhaps I can get one of our programmers over here to throw something
together...
