Usage

From an Eterm or Amiga Shell, type the following:

app/fade/nettime <server> <service> <protocol>

Where:
<server>is the server name, eg. ntp2a.mcc.ac.uk
<service>is the service, eg. sntp (same as the file names in app/fade/client/ but without the extension)
<protocol>is the IP protocol to use, eg. udp (use udp where possible, tcp at all other times)

You can also create a text file called app/fade/servers containing a list of servers to try. This MUST be in Amiga/UNIX text format and finish with a blank line. The format is the same as you would give to the nettime command, ie. <server> <service> <protocol>

Servers

A list of servers can be found at http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.htm. An abridged version is available in the Facts documentation at http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/facts/guide/ntpservers.html
