The moment I saw your "X86" I drew a blank since I don't know how the
serial ports, etc. are setup on Intel-based platforms.

What you may wish to do is visit Celeste Stokely's web site; she has
written the definitive documents on serial ports and modem setup for
SunOS and Solaris boxes.  FWIW, she's in Mountain View CA.

I believe her site is www.stokely.com, but you can access it by following
the links at:

	www.sunhelp.{com,net,org}

You also may want some of the precompiled/pkgadd-format PPP and other
utilities from www.sunfreeware.com; be sure to follow the links there
to the x86 and not the SPARC versions.

Thanks,

I lost Celeste's bookmark a couple of reinstalls ago.  :>(

I found that the admintool will setup the serial port.
Also found some configs in /etc/uucp/ for the dialer and modem.
Not sure where the dialer lives or what mechanism calls it up.

I installed the complete distribution and assume PPP is installed,
still looking for it.

Computer Literacy has an advanced admin guide from Sun that includes 2.6.

wanna be a beta tester? buah-hahahaha...


I've just created a script to do it.
(Well, I've just decided to release it, anyways...)

Give it a shot. If it works well for you, I'll put it on my general solaris
web pages.

pkginfo | grep ppp

you should come up with something like three packages.
