Hmm, there's no nlpt.4 on my system - I probably need to make world. > Shouldn't we have moved nlpt to lpt to keep the ages dated tags? I don't know. We can't repo copy nlpt.c to lpt.c because that will kill the old lpt.c, but that's not a big problem; we can rename nlpt to lpt in src/sys/conf/files and the users won't know the difference. The man page is a problem, though; it needs to have the same name as the device; but it's young enough that there's not much history to lose. > So, you choosed 'net'.
