netdate is in the tcpip1.tgz package (for the sake of posterity).
However, 'netdate time.nist.gov' times out.  I don't seem to be
getting any man pages - is there something I need to tweak?  Looks
like they're getting installed but man (part of busybox?) doesn't find
them.

Thanks for the telnet/nc pointers BTW.  I can live with the nist.pl -
but the lappy coming up in 1990 was getting annoying :)

Thanks,
Chris
