+ <title>XNTP for Sunos5</title>
+ <p>XNTP maintains a Unix system time-of-day which conforms with
+ the Internet standard time servers. XNTP is a complete
+ implementation of the Network Time Protocol, version 3
+ specification as defined in RFC 1305.
+ </p>
+ <p>XNTP for use in an <em>embedded system running Sunos5</em> is
+ delivered with OTP. The XNTP is delivered as a separate
+ <c>tar</c> file which also includes extensive documentation and
+ installation instructions.
+ </p>
+ <p>The following section of the introductory documentation is
+ included in the distribution:
+ </p>
+ <quote>
+ <p>The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the
+ time of a computer client or server to another server or
+ reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver
+ or modem. It provides client accuracies typically within a
+ millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of milliseconds on
+ WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to Coordinated
+ Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS)
+ receiver, for example. Typical NTP configurations utilize
+ multiple redundant servers and diverse network paths, in order
+ to achieve high accuracy and reliability. ...</p>
+ </quote>
+ <p>The XNTP software is supplied without charge under the
+ conditions set forth in the Copyright Notice provided within the
+ distribution.
