I've had problems with it occasionally; the Daylight Savings Time
changeovers are usually rough for a few days. But I would recommend
rebooting and putting it in your startup sequence about an hour or so
before the markets open. I think the server is on Colorado, so if you
reboot at 7AM New York time you should be hitting them at 5AM Mountain
time and the load should be fairly light. You definitely need to resync
on every reboot and every day, but I'm assuming you're staying up
throughout the trading day. BTW, there are other tools besides AtomTime;
I picked it up at work because it's one of the few that works through a
proxy server.
