Sometimes there isn't even cell coverage, let alone an Internet connection. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

It is an intentionally very simple protocol, with > intentionally very useful byproducts. I am aware of NTP and IEEE 1588. It requires master clock station regardless; the accuracy is insufficient for our applications. VLV |
