Perception. Corporate LAN runs off to a timesource every so often - all the users ever see is a consistent (correct) time value. Mainframe (even with ETR) wanders around always "off-time" - unless it also synchs to a (different) timesource. Given the questions we see here on the list, I wonder if the majority of ETRs aren't synched to an atomic source at all, but set locally. It's about time IBM allowed the clock correction to be driven by an "accepted" source. Maybe the next step will be to just be a (local) client like everyone else. It's just a server after all ...
