I don't care what it is called.  And yes, I did forget that some
systems can't handle more than 14 character filenames.  I just didn't
want it to be named comp.protocols.ppp unless it is strictly for PPP.
If it is going to cover the issues of serial internetworking
(encompassing SLIP, PPP, dial-up internetworking, etc.) then perhaps
the name should be more descriptive.

Since I have seen several, "the name is too long," messages but no,
"how about naming it comp.protocols.foobar instead," messages, perhaps
I should take another shot at it.  How about
comp.protocols.serial-inet?
