May I be permitted to toss in my $0.02 (Cdn)?
It would seem to me that a simple, and relatively inexpensive solution
might be something like this:
Install the Progress Character Client on a Unix(linux?) box. Connect the
Linux to the Vantage host. With custom programming, create a Character
program for entering clock in/out information, and install that on the
linux host. From each time collection station, use a freeware telnet
client (PuTTY works very well) and telnet into the Linux host, run your
clock in/out program in the telnet session, and Bob's your uncle. Every
one is using the same clock - the station is lightly loaded, and all
times are consistent.
Just a thought.
