The third point is that the program updates the server database ( currently with 179 servers ) whenever there's a new version available at Cosmos. The reason for this list is because, sometimes, one NIST server is down - the program will try automatically the second, and so on... >If you prefer the "old" but good Nist software, I don't mind...but you will be missing a powerful tool.

To download it, do it in the main page of Cosmos - there's the news and the NIST test; you'll get there. If not, goto http://cosmos.com.pt/cosmos/nist/nist.shtml I hope you default the server to pool.ntp.org or some of the stratum 2 or lower public access servers for use by individuals and small organizations (or those without a need for time continuously accurate to low microseconds or better) and *NOT* one of the stratum 1 public access servers that are intended to serve time to large organizations (or those with a need for time continuously accurate to low microseconds or better). -- Thanks.
