Author: dru Date: Mon Apr 22 16:14:28 2013 New Revision: 41470 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/41470 Log: Initial patch which fixes the following: - &os; - missing PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, and ISP acronym tags - small grammo fixes I happened to notice in the paragraphs affected by those tags (most of these paragraphs still need rewording) Subsequent patches will format ppp as a command more consistently and work on outstanding grammo, rewording, and formatting fixes. This chapter needs a lot of work.
