The former's basically what I was planning on doing. The "challenge" I

I need to dig into what it'll take to write client/server code for
"distributing" the time amongst the machines :). I've found all the
requisite documentation, it's just a matter of sitting down and digging
into it now...
If you just use the datagram protocol it should be pretty simple;
as I recall (dimly) you can add a handler pretty easily from an app.
And you can broadcast which removes all the configuration issues.
I think you might need to add a little asm wrapper to get it to
work with think c. back in the day I had examples but I don't think I
do any more. I might have docs somewhere - "inside appletalk"
