>> doesn't work, frequent failures <<

Thinking about this, and considering that I have rarely had any problem
and only once have I ever encountered a wrong date and time, I would
guess that the problem is likely that the default time server list
shipped with vxUtil is stale and out of date... fwiw, I have made
significant updates to my list and have a registry file that loads the
updated vxutil list to the ppc registry when cold booting or moving to a
new device.

Further, recently found that the default servers presented by vxUtil are
designed for automatic processes rather than individual devices.

Further research exposed "pool" servers which are specifically designed
for individual computers and devices.

If anyone is interested, I will update and post my vxUtil timeserver
registry file which will populate the vxUtil timeserver list.
