[time-nuts] Clock Project Help

[Eric Williams]

Don't know if you are more interested in building such a clock, or just
having one.  If the latter, one possible option is the Innova OnTime series,
which are NTP time displays.  One place to buy them is here:

These commercial clocks get their time from SNTP and run on
Power-over-Ethernet.  No alarm function, though, and the configuration is
via telnet rather than USB.  They also might be bigger than you want,
they're more for time displays in offices and buildings, but I have one of
the dial clocks in my home driven by my Soekris-based GPS NTP server.
