A more accurate system is to use the government's dial time service.
You call the service with a modem and use special software to set the
time.  There is source code at that web site that will supposedly
compile and run on linux.  This is independent of Asterisk.  It needs a
regular dial up modem and a one minute long distance call to Colorado.
