Shouldn't it be still be possible to set up xntpd with drift-correction and synchronization often, and just suppress xntpd-messages from starting the ppp-link? I've run xntpd on dialup-links before, and unless there is extreme inconsistencies in how your local clock run, it seem to still work nicely. (I might have patched it on that system, though - I don't remember, it is a long time since I set it up, and unfortunately it no longer exists so I can check.) Eivind.
