Top of the hour time codes

Many radio networks use two tones at the top of the hour to synch the clocks at the stations with the network clocks. Is there software available (preferably freeware) to take these tones and synch a computer's clock?

Double click on the little clock on the taskbar. Go to the internet time tab. Configure. Done.

If you get so much clock swing that it's way off, beat it with a hammer and claim an intern did it.<P ID="signature">______________

DRS2006 has a time zync utility that is a free download. It looks up the time once an hour, but can be set to run at any interval.

Unforunately, the computer in question only has dialup, but that is another story. However, it does receive two tones at the top of the hour from a satellite feed. I am looking for a cheap (aka FREE) solution to keep the clock accurate. If I had an intern, I'd have them resync the clock more often, bummer!

Gobs of freeware programs for doing this out there. <a target="_blank" href=http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm>Here</a> is one of them (your tax dollars at work).<P ID="signature">______________
