Our corporate Time Server is a Windows 2000 box which by default runs SNTP
(Simple Network Time Protocol).

Can (and should) I use this Windows 2000 server as my time source or should I
punch through the firewall on port 123 to get an outside time source?

The application is a simple Warehouse Management System. Accuracy to 1 second
is plenty good.

My concern is that I think the two protocols are incompatible (thank you M$)
and that I need to find a time server running full blown NTP in order to
succeed.
