  IIRC, the ntp page says ntpdate is deprecated, since its

 Yes you can (ntpd), but if the local clock is too far out, it 
 will never 
 lock-in and properly adjust the system time.
 

You can force this with the -g switch 

 If the local clock is not too far out, the ntpd may take up 
 to 2000 seconds 
 to sync the system time.  ntpdate (inconjunction with the 
 step-tickers file) 
 was/is used to force an initial step change in system time 
 before starting 
 ntpd so that ntpd can actully do its function with in a short 
 period of time 
 after being started.

[Cooker] USB ISDN Terminal Adaptor

[Paul Carroll]

Hi 
There,

I have recently 
installed a USB Terminal Adaptor (which is the way British Telecom now supply 
their hardware). I use Linux Mandrake 8.2, which happily detects my scanner, but 
not the TA.

Does anyone have any 
clues about how to install a USB Terminal Adapter under Linux, as I have looked 
high and low and can't find a HOWTO or similar

Regards
