I wonder if we really have use cases for sppp(4)/ng_sppp(4) these days.

This code was created in 199x to support some synchronous Cronyx adapters and their drivers:

ce(4) for PCI G.703/E1 card,
cp(4) for PCI V.35/RS-232/RS-530/RS-449/X.21/G.703/E1/E3/T3/STS-1 cards,
and cx(4)/ctau(4) for some ISA cards but these do not exist in FreeBSD 13 anymore,
removed by emaste@ recently.

Both ce(4) and cp(4) are i386-only drivers at present.

I could not find any other consumers of sppp code in base system and
I doubt there are outside base, but I may be wrong.

I'd like to see some comments from rik and vak, though.
