Jordan K. Hubbard d93c48840d Now that we're at 2.2.8, note it in the handbook (couldn't do it in advance
since the bits weren't on the FTP site yet and many links depend on this
value).

<chapt><heading>PPP and SLIP</heading>
<p>If your connection to the Internet is through a modem, or
you wish to provide other people with dialup connections to
the Internet using FreeBSD, you have the option of using PPP
or SLIP. Furthermore, two varieties of PPP are provided:
<em>user</em> (sometimes referred to as iijppp) and
<em>kernel</em>. The procedures for configuring both types
of PPP, and for setting up SLIP are described in this
chapter.

<chapt><heading>The Cutting Edge: FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-stable</heading>
<p>FreeBSD is under constant development between releases. For
people who want to be on the cutting edge, there are several
easy mechanisms for keeping your system in sync with the latest
developments. Be warned: the cutting edge is not for everyone!
This chapter will help you decide if you want to track the development
system, or stick with one of the released versions.</p>
