I believe that 9x machines store the time in the BIOS in local time
(DOS compatibility), while NT stores it in GMT.  Hence, when you pull
the time from the server, you get the GMT time, which 9x thinks is
local time.  Boom, five hours, right there.  Is there a switch for NET
TIME that can overcome this?
