Not unless someone else has already tested it. This build is basically
an "it compiles and seems to boot on a few machines" release of -current.
It's definitely intended for production use.
However, I can't see any reason why PPP support /shouldn't/ be gotten
working by the time -current becomes the 2.0 release. The more people
we can get looking at and reporting what's presently broken, the more
likely it'll get fixed. A significant motivation behind making these
builds available is to get people to find what's broken sooner.
Having said that, has there been much discussion on port-vax about PPP
not working in the 1.6 releases? I really can't imagine this being too
hard to get working, at least on some of the more robust VAX serial mux
devices.
