The more, the better. Thanks for being willing to contribute!

We already do have some documentation on PPP configuration, but it
wouldn't hurt to have some supplementary material---particularly if
you could provide more examples with dynamic and static IP assignment,
PAP authentication, etc.
As for email config for dial-up IP users, I don't think there's any
material yet in the handbook. It'd be nice to have some!

UUCP! Yes! We need that!

We don't have a style sheet or wordlist, so your best bet for style is
just to read what already exists in the handbook
(file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html or on the FreeBSD home
page http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html).
Also see the FreeBSD doc project page, at:
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj.html
Then, learn how to use SGML, the linuxdoc DTD, sgmlfmt, and start writing!
Best wishes!
