Since I am just beggining to grasp all the Unix/Freebsd concepts I am monitoring the FreeBSD questions mailing list very closely. One thing I have found is that some of the answers there are perfect candidates for copying them, modifying them an including them in the documentation. As an example James Raynard gave me a brief, but complete explanation about ppp.linkup and I found it much better than the info in the ppp.linkup.sample. With his permission, I am going to try to modify his message a bit and suggest it as the text for the ppp.linkup.sample. Changing the topic.... I would like to suggest that in the list of reference books to have a small section for Unix begginers. I don't recall if the books section covers this. I would like to recommend Harley Hahn's "The Unix Companion". It is a great book for begginers and also a nice reference. This is what I am using to get up to speed with Unix.
