Re: man netstart(8) OpenBSD-6.8

Rachel, you could submit something to be helpful if you like, fill the gap that you see. Only 60 devs and most of the man page content is incredibly up to date and valuable.
So I for one look forward to you adding your entry into the netstart man page for community review.

Please don't forget all G703 types, and any algorithms behind the l1 to L3 protocols, like preference level on BGP attributes per physical type, maybe add in the voltages as well. You know push and pull 0 and 1 0-15 and - voltage ranges etc for each as well.
