Network Time-keeping

I maintain a couple of dozen 386/486s networked
together with RFS and use nmake viewpathing. The current
reference area(s) might be on another machine. I am capable
of syncing any machine to a common machine's time in seconds,
using tools I have found here and within AT&T. However, no matter
how often I sync, it is not often enough to satisfy nmake.
In fact, more frequent sync seem to force recompiles more often.
A newer version of nmake will allow me to fudge the time within
a few seconds; however, this newer version has semantic differences
which make my current makefiles incompatible.
Is there a version of the network time protocol available
for TLI/streams? I suspect that if I could sync them to milliseconds
rather than seconds, it might work. Anybody else have any thoughts
on this?
