Installing a hook in a TSR (or someting similar under OS/2) strikes me as a
big waste of CPU cycles -- all day long -- why don't you just set the clock
each time you get mail,  whether you need to or not?

This is what I do now.  Each time slipppm gets a connection, I use
TIME868.EXE to get the real time from an atomic clock.  PC clocks are very
inaccurate;  it is rare that time868 does not adjust my clock by a second
or two.
