*Download link is at the bottom of this document.!!
Description:
This applet does get the starting time from the server.

On a server operating system like the one your provider uses.
W95/98/NT workstations don't have a http port.
It does not automaticly correct for summer and winter time

- test it , if needed adjust the timezone parameter.
