That's it, basically. I know how to get the system time in its various configurations, but how might I take advantage of the remote time servers available via the internet?

Hi jrioux,

NTPoT might get you started. You can download it here. Note that this library is very basic. You will probably want to improve it. If you do, it would be very nice if you could send your modifications back to me.

Best,
