net/xisp/pkg/DESCR has the following sentence:

The xisp package implements a user-friendly X interface to pppd/chat
and provides maximum feedback from the dial-in and login phases on a
browser screen, as well as a manual login terminal window.

Note that it includes "pppd". And ports for ppp (e.g. ppxp, ppp-nt and
so on) are in net category instead of comms.

So I prefered net category rather than comms.

Is that incorrect decision ? Do ports for ppp (e.g. ppxp, ppp-nt and
so on) have to move into comms category, if so?
