That's the net4501, not the net4801. FWIW, without replacing the clock 
and using a custom ntpd the 4501 is ok as an NTP server but not 
spectacular. The limited memory and cpu hurt if you run a current OS & 
ntpd. Remember, nobody's actively targeted that hardware in a decade. 
The net4801 will probably do as well in the real world even without the 
elan timer registers.
