NTP is the Network Time Protocol, which is the "official" (if any one is) time synchronisation protocol on the internet. That way you'll have the most reference clocks to choose from, and a time-proven system. There are several NTP packages for MacOS, Windoze, AmigaOS, BeOS, VMS etc, and most unix flavors come with an xntpd (a background NTP synchronizer). Look at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/software.html for a fairly large software listing, and http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm to find public clocks to syncronise with.
