Unfortunately, neither the daytime (RFC 867) or time (RFC 868) protocols appear to handle subsecond times. The Network Time Protocol (RFC 958) does, but someone would have to write that protocol for Rebol. In any case, you really want to be able to access subsecond times locally.

Can you make an use of 'read daytime://129.6.15.29? That IP gives me the fastest response from Gaithersburg Maryland north of Pittsburgh PA. You'd probably get better response from a server close to you.
