Probably more of a headache than its worth.  I guess it depends on whether or
not your dialup is connected all the time.

I would suggest just running ntpdate as part of your dialup script, that way
you'll sync every time you connect.  Your other option is to run ntpd, and
have it demand-dial when it needs to sync, but this seems like overkill, as I
imagine it will be dialing quite often.
