Sure; the underpinning is there...but though I've heard of _A_
client out there (other than NTP) for it, and the decade-old documents,
it's pretty tough for a non-tech guy to get any use of it.
And it's a shame; the concept is wonderful. It even meshes well with
moderm "TV like" entertainment, yet...everyone's ignoring it.
If you can update the howto, or just help someone put a new one
together, you'd be doing a great service for the rest of us!
(I might have enough time to maintain it for ya...)
