Thanks for the info!  It is always nice when people send fixes along with
problem reports.  From your message and my (Linux PPP) experience, here
the table I have so far:

        PPP  SLIP   NOTES
Linux   0    0      Uses DLT_RAW
FreeBSD 4    16
Solaris 16   ? 
OpenBSD ?    ?      4/16 like FreeBSD?
NetBSD  ?    ?      4/16 like FreeBSD?

If anyone knows the correct values for these or other OS, please mail them
to me.  Also, if nmap over PPP works for you now with a non-Linux system,
let me know now.  Otherwise it might not work for you in the next rleease.

I'll post a summary of the responses to the list.

Cheers,
Fyodor
