RE: System Time

["Weatherly, Howard" <hweatherly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wanda,

I have not heard of that being done, but the place to call would be
(name I seem to not remember now) the place in Maryland that keeps the
atomic clocks, I believe that there is a number that a pc can dial and
get the time set but do not know if it would work with an AS/400.

I keep thinking it's the National Bureau of Standards but I have this
niggling feeling it has a more time oriented name.

Phil, 

We do not dial out to get the time.  Does anyone Dial out to get the
time
synchronized on  their AS400 and if so, where? 

Thanks,
Wanda
