Elderly computers can frequently be found at curbside. Often, there is nothing wrong with them, they are just old and/or slow. NTP does not require a lot of computing power!! If these old wrecks will boot some form of Windows or Linux they are well suited to not very demanding jobs like running NTPD. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
