I need to accurately synchronize the time on 3 Palm III's

I am using them as data collection loggers and need the timestamped
collected info to coincide from Palm to Palm.

Is there a program to beam the time from unit to unit to do this? I know I
can use "GpsTime" to set them all the same, but I really don't want to carry
around a GPS just to do this.

Thanks

I have been using TimeCopy. It executes during a hotsync, bringing the
PDA's clock into agreement with the clock of the PC that it is
hotsyncing with.

So an indirect solution for you would be to
1. Synchronize all of your PCs using NTP.
2. Install TimeCopy on all your PCs and PDAs.

TimeCopy is freeware: http://vons.free.fr/palm/

How about an OTA solution? If I have to pull the battery for any
reason from my Treo, the clock resets to some random time. If I'm away
from my computer, I can't hotsync.

I've been using AtomClock, but I only have one time sync left in the
trial, the only place I know of to buy it is PocketGear (formerly
PalmGear), and I've been having nothing but problems trying to a)
re-register with them and b) actually pay for anything I want.

Thanks, but I should have mentioned that I need to do this in the field away
from my computer....and the Palms may be away from my computer for many days
so they DO get errors in the times.
