I'd suggest
- network connection available (most of the time)?
set up ntpd. If you traceroute to some site, and try the
routers along the path (ntpq -p <therouter>), you'll find
one that has ntp running. Chosing a ntp server close to your
computer will usually result in better time synchronisation than
chosing a 'good' timeserver far away.
- network connection only occasionally?
set up ntpdate to be run in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d or similar.
cheers
