    In this case, this indicates that the time of day on the system you're
    using and on sys3.ik5bcu.ampr.org are not synchronised. The simple fix
    is to implement an NTP server somewhere on your network (preferably on
    the box that dials up to the Internet) that synchronises to one of the
    many atomic timeservers on the Internet whenever you're dialled up, and
    have all your other systems synchronise their clocks to it using NTP in
    turn. If your dial-up server is a RH Linux box and the xntp3 RPM is
    installed, then 99% of the work is done and you just need to find a
    reasonably local timeserver to use and point xntp3 at it.

    If you're feeling adventurous, then you could set up as a timeserver for
    your local ham radio community as well...

    Best wishes from Riley.
