I've just installed NetBSD-1.0 using the 'base' and 'etc' distribution
sets...I thought PPP came installed, but when I run pppd I get
'sorry, ppp is not available on your system.'
Anyone know why? Is it something to do with ifconfig?

ps. To warbird@laser.net - I replied to your email but the mail bounced
    back - do you have an alternate email? (sorry bout this, everyone
    else!)
