What's cheesy about it?

It might have been better to place it on its own page and link to it 
from the main howto page.

Really? I'm specifying an NTP server via DHCP, and the server specified 
doesn't even have port 37 (as used by RFC-868) open. Additionally, the 
rcS startup script on the mvpmc dongle shows:

# Connect to the first available NTP server
#
do_ntp() {
     for i in $1 ; do
         /bin/ntpclient -s -h $i
         if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
             /bin/ntpclient -d -l -h $i &
             exit 0
         fi
     done
     exit 1
}

which pretty much indicates that NTP is the protocol being used.

However it's possible mvpmc does something different with the time 
server specified via the web configuration UI.
