On our boxes (and I suspect many others), the system clock is driven by the interval timer. But the RTC is much more accurate, so it'd be nice if NTP knew how to use it. The RTC is terribly slow and has low resolution, but in the absence of anything better, it'd be nice if we could use it. Is this possible? Feasible? I know the NTP guys would probably laugh us out of the room, but not everybody has a fancy clock attached to their box.
