Computer-Aided Revolution

[Adam Shostack]

xntp (extended network time protocol) can be accurate to a few
tenths of a second over a serial link, possibly better.  It can get to
thousandths or better over an ethernet.

GPS can also provide a very accurate time signal (about $300 for the
hardware, which is becoming relatively common.)
