Speaking of which... is NetBSD any less ugly than various Linux distributions 
I've tried to get PPP to work?  The fact that NetBSD is slightly more POSIX 
compliant makes it more attractive in my mind.  I'm not asking this to start a 
religious debate; I just want to get PPP working reliably on a Unix platform 
without discovering I have the wrong kernel, the wrong version, etc., etc.
