From 4630b2d34de28d8d4844e35079ca50945361f8e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: peter Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 01:29:18 +0000 Subject: Don't say that the filtering options are only available under NetBSD, and don't claim that _any_ serial speed is settable, mention that it has to be supported by the device driver. Some have very flexible baud rate selection (ie: based on divisors etc, such as the com ports), while others have explicit baud rate choices. --- usr.sbin/pppd/pppd.8 | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'usr.sbin/pppd') diff --git a/usr.sbin/pppd/pppd.8 b/usr.sbin/pppd/pppd.8 index e45a7f7..57bffe6 100644 --- a/usr.sbin/pppd/pppd.8 +++ b/usr.sbin/pppd/pppd.8 @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ .\" manual page [] for pppd 2.3 -.\" $Id: pppd.8,v 1.15 1997/10/10 06:30:08 peter Exp $ +.\" $Id: pppd.8,v 1.16 1997/10/10 09:28:38 peter Exp $ .\" SH section heading .\" SS subsection heading .\" LP paragraph @@ -42,8 +42,9 @@ used. .TP .I Set the baud rate to (a decimal number).
