I just read the ppp pedantic primer, the handbook page on ppp, and the ppp man page (well, skimmed the last two) I believe it is time to grenade the ppp-primer and completely remove it. It doesn't document anything that the handbook and man page don't, and it's not correct for the most part. Getting it up to speed would be a waste of time, and the end result would be at best documentation that is accurate and echos what is already documented in the handbook and man page.
