I'd suggest
 - network connection available (most of the time)?
        set up ntpd. If you traceroute to some site, and try the
        routers along the path (ntpq -p <therouter>), you'll find 
        one that has ntp running. Chosing a ntp server close to your
        computer will usually result in better time synchronisation than
        chosing a 'good' timeserver far away.
 - network connection only occasionally?
        set up ntpdate to be run in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d or similar.
