Aha -- I did find a message in one of the mailing list archives that
said that any speed over 300 baud was not useful.  Please tell me you
meant 4800 baud and not 480 :^D  Well, I'm patient.  If there's no
useful/reusable way to improve gnumach-1.3 for better serial speeds,
then we wait.  I certainly think a usable ppp will help get a lot
more people using the Hurd -- but Many People have been saying this
since 1999 or before.  And if you're not a part of the solution,
you're a part of the problem (and I'm not a part of the solution ;^)

Sorry, my bad.  I didn't thoroughly troll the mailing list archives
to find out how to make it work.  Will do.  If I have success, I'll
post the details.  (Now to ask a different question in my next post....)

                                        C
