I eyeballed all of the PPP FAQ entries and I couldn't find anything else =

For 14.17 and 14.23 I didn't really know about the gory details so I =

OK thanks for your efforts!
BTW I see the serial port section is similarly stale (it still mentions =
sio instead of uart) and as the wiki page says, it doesn't mention any =
USB to RS232 adapters (which are likely to be what most people see on =
modern systems).
