Sorry, I'm working on a good solutio, but basically right now I'm piping all my
outgoing mail through fmt and losing any special formatting... I'll come up with
a real solution soon.

I'm using the newer ppbus code entirely:

controller      ppbus0
device          nlpt0   at ppbus?
device          plip0   at ppbus?
device          ppi0    at ppbus?
device          pps0    at ppbus?

controller      ppc0    at isa? port ? tty irq 7 vector ppcintr

ppc: parallel port found at 0x378
ppc0 at 0x378 irq 7 on isa
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
nlpt0: <generic printer> on ppbus 0
nlpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <generic parallel i/o> on ppbus 0
lppps0: <Pulse per second Timing Interface> on ppbus 0
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus 0
