Thank you, George.  This makes more sense now.  It sounds like there are 
two functions involved in STP.  1) Get the time (ETS) from a modem or NTP 
and 2) adjust processor time to match ETS time.  

Will I be able to use the ETS to update my service processor clock and 
then use that time at my next IPL?  I want the ETS function without paying 
the STP price.  

Thanks,
   Mark
