Hi Ben--

I saw your patch on doc@ (well, second-hand), and some other private
conversation regarding the patch was actually what motivated me to be
looking at this file in the first place.

As far as I can see, the rest of the text (just before my change above)
is the same as the patch you submitted, modulo whitespace changes.  I
don't have a strong opinion about the presence or absence of SLIP in the
list; it *is* an industry standard, although I admit it's far from the
top of my mental list of FreeBSD networking features.

If someone else wants to nuke it, it's fine with me; otherwise I'll do
it whenever I touch this file next.

Thanks!

Bruce.
