Fellow time travellers, Due to the need for most of us humanoids to have some reference to this thing called 'time' CLEAR Net have now installed (for the general enhancement of the Internet in NZ - hint to ISOCNZ), albeit a minor enhancement, a GPS based time source for your pleasure. This service is based on a unit (which claims to be a stratum one time source - <sigh>) located on the top of the CLEAR building, in Takapuna, Auckland. Techincal details: Device: Truetime NTS 90 (http://www.truetime.com) Hostname: bigben.clix.net.nz - also CNAME'd as tictoc.clix.net.nz IP Address: 203.167.224.60 Protocols supported: NTP (RFC 1305), SNTP (RFC 1361), TIME (RFC 868) NB: You cannot query this device using NTP unless the source port for the request is the NTP port (a la an NTP server). You are free to use this service - Enjoy! Any problems please report them to bgp(a)clear.net.nz.
