Tick differences

I am trading live with a trader in a different state and we keep an open
line during trading hours.  He has BMI cable and I have BMI satellite
and from time to time either he will miss a tick or I will get an extra
tick.  We trade using tickbar charts and with even just one tick being
different, it will change the bars for the rest of the day.

If I find that I have an extra tick, then I can delete 1 tick in the
server and then we will have the same bar formations, but sometimes when
I do that, while my screens are being updated, I will miss a new tick
coming up and that further increases the problem.

Any ideas as to how to syncronize our machines?
