What does ``nlpt'' stand for? If "New LPT" or something similarly
useless, then can't we keep the "lpt" name that is standard across PCs
and just change the usage to:
device lpt0 at ppbus?
The number of name changes for devices in FreeBSD is reaching an alarming
rate, messes with POLA, and many are simply gratuitous.
