I'll replace this with the actual title of the document itself, which is
"PPP - Pedantic PPP Primer" (note the whitespace change).

"an" encrypted password :)

I' think this is ok.  The ASCII set of characters has a character called
NUL.  It's the character whose ASCII code is zero (0).  In fact following
the instructions of the document, one can see:

$ cat | hd
[PRESS CTRL AND HOLDING IT DOWN PRESS '2' HERE.]
00000000  00 0a                                             |..|
00000002

that the ascii character produced by CTRL-2 is ASCII NUL :-)

I've committed most of the changes.  See the audit trail of this PR 
for why I left out one of them.  Thanks :)

It is the ASCII nul (character code 0) that is meant and not "null", 
in the only change that I've left out.
