Update of html documentation for pl2




Hi.

I would like to do my bit for the forthcoming patch level 2, and would
like to co-ordinate the update of the html documentation.

The current html pages, as written by Sam Leffler, are of an excellent
quality; and, as it says in the overview, there are 'gobs' of it. 
They're readable yet precise. I believe that all that is needed is a 
minor revision plus additional info for any new features.

This is a list of the items that need to be revised - there're in no
particular order, and listed just has I have thought of them :-

A. Information on the new features of pl2 (and perhaps of pl1 as well?).

B. Emphasis to new users to install binary distributions rather than try
   to compile the sources.

C. Mention the PC client programs available, WinFlex and Whfc. 
   And MacFlex for the Mac ( any more?).

D. Update the list of modems and their capabilities

E. I would like to see the TODO list put into html (if only to gain a
   wider audience).

F. Some basic info on regular expressions (as used in the hosts and 
   destctrls files) would be very useful.

G. Add to the Troubleshooting page info about :-
         * the 'cannot remove fax' message from faxrm
         * how to add a switchboard prefix number via dialrules
         * email attachments processed through faxmail
         * any more? (But not trying to repeat the FAQ)


Any comments?  Anything else that should be added? How about info which
is now obsolete and should be deleted? I will try to mail Sam and ask
his permission to alter his work once we are happy about what needs to be
done.
