	On my home LAN, I have quite a few machines running NTP. Here's what a
'xntpdc -p' looks like on one of 'em:

	A is an Irix machine on my LAN. B is a local stratum one public time
server. C is a customer's machine on a remote WAN. D is a local stratum one
public time server. E is a FreeBSD 3 box on my LAN (SMP. FreeBSD SMP doesn't
keep very good time). F is a customer's machine on a remote WAN. G is my
UltraSparc. H is my local Cisco router. I is a Windows 98 box. The machine I
ran this on is a Linux box.

	You'll notice that <1ms resolution is possible between Linux and FreeBSD UP
machines with recent kernels.
