Hi All,

Anybody got any strong feelings about moving the existing "Network
Communication" <part> out of the Handbook, and using it to seed a new
FreeBSD Networking Handbook?

Probably in two parts.  The first part is an introduction to networking,
IP and the like.  This is where things like

    Firewall
    Routing / Gateways
    Wireless
    Bridging
    NAT

all sit.

The second part is a collection of chapters, one per network service,
taken from the "Network Servers" chapter (make each <sect1> in there a=20
chapter in its own right.)

Having done that, break them down in to two more <sect1>s, "Client", and
"Server", either of which might be optional if it doesn't make much
sense.

So you'd have:

  Ch.  Inetd
       Synopsis
       Terminology
       Server
  Ch.  E-mail (SMTP) [1]
       Synopsis
       Terminology
       Client
       Server
  Ch.  NIS
       Synopsis
       Terminology
       Client
       Server
  Ch.  NFS
       ...

and so on.
