Dear colleagues;

I'm a Free-BSD user for about two years. A few days ago, I set up usr ppp
(iij-ppp) with mgetty+sendfax to make my Free-BSD box a ppp server. At that
time I had a problem to be confused what driver I should use for the
serial lines (COM ports) due to a conflict of the descriptions in "man
ppp" or the document of mgetty with that of the Hand Book of Free-BSD.
In "man ppp" and the document of mgetty, cuaa is indicated to use, but in
the Hand Book, there is an example of /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as

papttyd0:
 enable pap
  set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255
   enable proxy
	
papttyd1:
 enable pap
  set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.21 255.255.255.255
   enable proxy

which is linked from "Mgetty and AutoPPP" in "15.1.5.3. Receiving incoming 
calls with PPP". From this you may misunderstand that you should use ttyd
rather than cuaa. Taking the mechanism of mgetty into account, I think that it 
is proper to use cuaa, and in fact I have confirmed that ttyd does not work 
well for this case. 
So, I think that the above example should be

papcuaa0:
 enable pap
 set ifaddr 203.14.100.1 203.14.100.20 255.255.255.255
 enable proxy
 ...............
 .............

Would you please check this point?  Thank you.
