Well, I mentioned that I'm using it as a shell account server for
the provider I admin; but also, I'll be shortly building a
terminal server out of a PC running FreeBSD. This should *really*
stress out the PPP implementation, as a majority of our customers
do PPP.

There's that serial driver I did. As I switched to NetBSD at my
home site some while ago, I haven't been keeping up-to-date with
the latest FreeBSD, but when I do the terminal server, you can
bet that i won't be sticking with the existing serial driver.
