If you have an internet connection then most probably the most cost
effective way would be to use the NTP (Network Time Protocol) Daemon.

You can get the source code from the home of NTP software at: 

	http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/

Also available at this site is the list of publicly accessible clock
servers.  I've recently gone through a NTP network setup so feel free to
contact me.

Cheers,
Paul.

The students learn that effective action arises out of silence and a clear
sense of being.  In this they find a source of peace.  They  discover that
the person who is down-to-earth can do what needs doing  more  effectively
than the person who is merely busy.  - Lao Tzu's    "Tao Te Ching"   500BC
