I should probably remove it, rather than have it causing confusion for the users. IMHO the bsddip stuff is obsoleted by the much advanced /usr/sbin/ppp program now. For the very very few people who actually wish to run SLIP these days, well, they'll probably as well be able to do this using slattach(8) directly. Unless i hear some serious objections within something like a week, i'll cvs remove the port. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
