a suggestion: clocks should announce themselves over mDNS service
discovery, so softwares would find them more easily.

in fact any software supporting well-known network interfaces should
probably do that, so that interconnecting on LAN would become a matter
of browse-and-click (like selecting a DAAP share in a music player or
a network printer in a print dialog).
