>Description:
I recently unhooked the Pedantic PPP Primer from the doc build.
	(doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/Makefile r1.11).

I'd quite like to give someone a chance to bring this document back into the
present day before issuing a "cvs rm".

Therefore I've raised this PR after discussion with keramida to throw this
open to the wild.

I propose to cvs rm the ppp-primer on December 1st, 2002 unless this book has
been updated and finished.

 This is the first time I feel happy that a PR is "opened", instead of
 "closed".  I don't have the hardware, nor the expertise to test and
 document the scenarios that were originally described in the PPP
 Primer, but it has been one of the documents that were of great
 assistance as I was staring to work on FreeBSD in Sep 1998.
 
 If anyone feels that they can update it, then by all means, please
 raise your hands and say "Aye!  I will do it."

 Good news :)
 
 There is something that we can find in that doc and that you can't find
 in the Handbook: it's the installation & test of a NIC, of course it's
 very far from being perfect :)
 I'm planning something about that problem: I want to add a big section
 in the Handbook (maybe in config & tuning chapter) about installing,
 configuring and troubleshooting NICs. "Newcomers" are often lost on that
 point.
