   Does anybody know how to access the radio time sent out by
   the DCF77 transmitter near Frankfurt/M ?
   Has anyone ever done it in Unix ?

   In the German CHIP magazine (March '91) there is an article explaining
   how to do it for MsDOS, but we would like something similar for
   an SCO UNIX 3.2.2 box, if possible on a serial line.
