and requiring a network connection.

frankly, imho, anyone runnin WIN9x or WINme would be foolish to have it
connected to external networks for many many security reasons.

Win9x is a great dos-with-GUI for handling automation or other tasks,
it should no longer be considered an internet platform.

of course you could provide NTP services from WITHIN a private network.
but that is overkill when patching once won't kill you.
