Ah, yes. I wasn't sure how to read it, but it raises a good point. PPP
interfaces are sometimes static, and this tendency will increase in the
future. By the way, Joakim mentioned that my initial response seemed brusque,
and that was not the intention. I was just wondering what Miguel's take on
the Networking/Telephony split was, and if this was an indication one way or
the other.

To me, this means that we should not exclude interfaces from the Networking
admin just because they're PPP, but we need to weed out currently running PPP
interfaces that are dialup, from the Networking admin.
