Millisecond accuracy and drift control.  It calculates the rate at which
your clock drifts and then uses 'dead reckoning' to correct it while you
are not connected to the net.  This assumes that it works as advertised, of
course.  It seems to be keeping my rather drifty clock on time, but I'm not
equipped to fully test it.
