I'll buy that. But it's the description that confused me:
Description: Programming environment for X11 and character terminals
Igor Grobman could you fix up the description so it's clear that it
belongs in editors. It's too trivial to submit as a bug I think.

You have convinced me about ppp. I can see that being a daemon in the
same category as most of the rest of net (I don't thing the server even
needs a modem attached to use it??). But diald seems more
telecommunications oriented to me. And uucp is in comm which has a
"older" form of _net_working support. Moreover, comm is small and net
is BIG.
