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.
