For something quick, cheap, and easy, try 'watch -n1 date'. My memory
of using screen on a VT320 plugged into a serial port suggests that
screen would also display the current time on the hardware modeline if
it could be convinced that such existed, but this is kind of a fuzzy
memory, and I'm not sure if you could (or would want to) emulate the
modeline in an xterm/Linux virtual console.
