Thank you for all the responses to my question about LCP/IPCP with Brixton
PPP software on one side (on a Sparc) to a Cisco on the other side.
I turned off as many negotiation parameters as possible AND also had
my internet provider change his un-numbered interface to a numbered
interface.  The second procedure didn't work, UNTIL, I rebooted.  For
some reason, whenever changing/adding an interface with brixton, the
machine must be rebooted (never mentioned in the manual).  I noticed 
that after my reboot (accidental, due to someone switching off teh router),
that everything was magically working.

Now if only I could get free PPP to work...but that's for another day.
Or, if I could get DNS resolving on the sun, but I have leads there.

Again, thank you for all the responses.
