Thanks.  If it is not too big, I will mirror it as well.  I think
someone should put it on the errata because of my painful story:

(Ok, like I wouldn't be blowing steam if this examples issue didn't
bite me on the rear)
As of 4.6 the 127.x.x.x addresses became truly local.  Unfortunately
they are used as the dummy addr's in the ppp-primer ppp.conf example,
upon which my own ppp.conf is based.  Unable to dial out, I had only
the documentation resources available locally.  I knew I needed to
edit my ppp.conf, but I wasn't sure entirely what was wrong and the
manpage isn't informative enough and that's when I needed the
sample file from share/examples.  At that point I was frustrated not
to find it.
