Berndt,

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think ppi(4) is an
experimental facility that comes from FreeBSD.  FreeBSD has a man page,
I think.  If you test ppi and find it satisfactory, send-pr the man page,
cc'ing me, and I make sure it is imported.  Also, send-pr if ppi does
not work right.
