synchronise the start of [writesf~] to (network) clock time?

Hi,

I am trying to record audio with [writesf~] on two computers but have
the beginning of these two recordings in sync. I thought of using zexy's
[time] object to access the computer's clocks, which are synced to network time. 
[time] on my Linux O.S gives me milliseconds with three decimal points,
which should be microseconds.

I tried polling [time] with a high speed [metro 0.001] and compare
that time to a threshold value. But that maxes out cpu usage to 100%.

As a workaround I could somehow encode the start time of [writesf~] into its
first sample and use some python script to synchronise these recordings
later, comparable to broadcast wave timestamps, which I thing have
hms:frame timing resolution.

Is there a more elegant way of achieving this? 

Thank you for all ideas!
Peter
