Thanks Scott, but I don't think that is what I'm looking for. Actually
last night I figured out a way to solve my problem. I have an RPG
program send the system time to a data queue and I have a pc application
running on the server receiving the time and updating accordingly. One
thing I keep thinking about is why don't we just have both servers
getting their times from the same internet clock? Wouldn't they
theoretically be in sync then?
