My port of XNTP/iX can help your 5.5 machines stay in synch by allowing them
to all set their clocks from the same time server.

XNTP will also support continuous real-time resynchronizations to maintain
millisecond (or below) accuracy, but unfortunately this feature doesn't work
on MPE because HP has a subtle bug in their underlying :SETCLOCK correction
code.  If HP were to find the time to fix this, XNTP/iX would be fully
functional.

For more details, see:
