 Hmm, it currently says "Example configuration files can be found in the
 /etc/ppp directory", which does need fixing.  Do you think any other
 reference to the examples directory is needed?  (This is at the end of
 section 15.2.1.5.1 in the handbook.)  I'll mention it at the start of
 section 3.2.1 in the PPP Primer too.

 Well, I think it should really be mentioned in the FILES section,
 if anywhere.  Since it already mentioned /usr/share/examples/ppp a
 few times though, it might not be needed.  If you search for either
 "example" or "sample" in ppp(8) you'll find it...
