Yes, but the advantage of using clockspeed under it (clockspeed isn't a
time server) is that it compensates for hardware clock skew while it's
offline.  If you then sync ntpd with the hardware clock, you can have a
very accurate time server even after months offline.  Pretty keen,
though not as much of interest in the post-POTS era.  Still, comes in
very handy for low-budget public access sites with only a dirty phone
line for occasional dialup.

Works fine with 4.1.0, at least.  Haven't experimented much.
