>Description:
	http://www.freebsd.org/internet.html lacks many developments present in
recent versions of FreeBSD.  While I think the page is probably well overdue a
complete rewrite, this at least mentions a handful of features added to FreeBSD
since September 1996.
Also remove link to http://www.netcon.com/ who no longer seem to offer the
software mentioned.  I've left the Novell, Appletalk and PCNFS references in,
even though I suspect they are not really important enough these days to mention
here any more.  Lastly, the "crypto" distro is no longer export restricted as of
2000.
