AbelMN: Is your question 1 asking if I implemented a ntpd into the clock? If so, then no I did not. Does it work with openntpd? I guess it does work. It 'll problably synchronize the cpu clock. I'll check. Until now no problems. If necessary I'll come back to you As for the different tones, they seem to be working for me. Tone 3 sounds like the ocean, tone 2 sounds like a cellphone ring tone, and tone 1 sounds like an alarm clock. I set three alarms using them set 1, 2, and 3 minutes from the current time.
