   Please elaborate on what you mean by "coerced into using it via packet   
   manipulation.   
      
   First, what is the "packet" that is being manipulated in this context?   
   Is it a BBS term?  Is it a TCP/IP packet?  Is it something else?   
      
   Second, what sort of coercion would be required?  What would it be   
   changed from?  What would it be changed to?

   That depends if it's a 12-hour or a 24-hour clock.  }:-)
