time /s - enhancement request

[modio]

It would be helpful if time /s could be enhanced to support the use of NTP, and in particular the NTP Pool servers (see http://www.pool.ntp.org).

Although I never saw it mentioned anywhere, I believe all this was
implemented in 11.0.30, the official release build of 11.0. At least it
seems to be working for me. Have you tried it?

V11 now uses SNTP.

It *is* using NTP (port 123, UDP) now, though, apparently not correctly. I just
used it (42 ms round trip) and my clock is now more than .9 sec off (>900 ms)
(according to NIST's software and my TIMESYNC, which agree).

It is *not* using NTP, it is using SNTP.

Sorry, I didn't realize they used the same port.
