countdown from 31: helping with the FAQ

[John Nielsen]

Cherry-picking a few:

[install-PLIP]	Has anyone used PLIP successfully on a currently-supported version of FreeBSD? (or any version since 4.x?) The last I remember hearing about it was Julian Stacey saying it didn't work in 2007. JHB has made

I think I still have a laplink cable but I don't think I've used it since the 90's. That said, it was a nice feature, especially before CD's, USB and standard (or any) Ethernet interfaces were ubiquitous on laptops.

If it works at all the FAQ should be fine; if it doesn't the docs should be updated to either remove the FAQ or include a caveat.


[win95-connection] This is a bit dated but fine. The natd Handbook page could maybe reference other ways of doing NAT besides natd--e.g. using pf or ipfw. The IPFW Handbook page could be updated and simplified to include e.g. "firewall_nat_enable" instead of using divert/natd.



[nfs-linux] Looks fine. Possibly less of an issue than it used to be but I do remember encountering that issue.


[bpf-not-configured] Looks fine.


[icmp-response-bw-limit] Looks fine, the sysctls haven't changed.
