Neither do I know what that means. I did a search for specs using the serial number and got a sheet which used CTO in four places:

Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) (CTO)
Installed RAM: CTO
Hard Drive: CTO
Optical Drive: CTO

I have no idea whether File Sharing was enabled, and OS9 was just a guess on my part. The machine belonged to a daughter ( who thinks Dad's attic is a great indefinite-term storage facility). She may have installed a later OS as the machine is good up to Tiger.
