NTP is your best bet. Chances are your ISP will have a NTP server
somewhere on their network. You can try calling them and asking. You can
also try to see if ntp.<your ISP's domain> resolves. Other than that you
can use one of the public open NTP servers. The http://www.ntp.org/
website has lots of useful info.

If you have a full time connection, you can set up a NTP deamon to keep
time automatically. If you're using a dial up connection, try putting
ntpdate into /etc/ppp/ip-up, et el. If you have your own internal network
and want to keep time synchronized, designate one of your systems as your
time servers and synchronize the rest off of that one.
