I always really liked that NTP uses port 123 which is the same number that you can dial, in the uk, on a analogue, landline phone, to call an automated service that tells you the precise time.
1194 in Australia, it was discontinued in 2019 after 66 years. It's now on the internet http://1194online.com/
Was that the one you could use to set callback alarms as well?
Nah that was just the talking clock. The wake up/reminder service was a 'premium' service accessible via 1234.
