Help with setting time from internet timeservers over dialup

[Kevin.Bewley@camr.org.uk]

Hi,
   I am using Debian 3.0r1 and connect to the internet using a dialup.
Basically I've set my /etc/peers/provider and my /etc/chatscript to dial up
Freeserve Anytime and negotiate ppp using PAP. pppd handles getting the
link up and running and all I do is type 'pon' and 'poff' to bring the
network up and down. This is a single machine with nothing else connected
to it.

My questions are thus:
a) What package do I need to install to set my system time from an internet
timeserver? (and write it to the CMOS clock?)
b) Where is the _right_ place to invoke this, what script?
     I'd like it to set the clock upon establishing a ppp connection.
c) anything else you might think would be helpful for me?

Thanks,
Kevin
