Getting the date/time is easy:  simply telnet to
port 13 of an appropriate server.  Alternatively
you can nc to that server.  For example:
-----------------------
telnet time.nist.gov 13
-----------------------
or
-------------------
nc time.nist.gov 13
-------------------

To set the local date/time, you can write a wee script 
to parse the output of the server and pass it to the
date command.

Cheers,
Steven
