The DECnet-Plus DTSS stuff should probably be considered, um, 
exceedingly relaxed, if not retired.

The particular provider file has appeared and disappeared and then 
re-appeared over the years.

In the old OpenVMS FAQ, see section: 4.2  Keeping the OpenVMS system 
time synchronized?

I haven't looked to see which version of NTP was in use on OpenVMS with 
TCP/IP Services.

PS: DTSS$NTP_PROVIDER.C
