ppp on crossed wire

Hi, i was wondering, has anyone run successfully ppp
over a crossed rs232 wire?

I have this setup with a SPARC ipc (SUNOS 4.1.2 ) and a
386PC, normally i used kermit as a dump terminal tool, works find here.

Now, i have setup ppp-1.1.tar.Z from cayman ( FAQ5.1.1.1 )
and i got ppp.exe from merit.

I can't seem to get the connection for PPP running, the
error message is unable to establish IP address, PPP aborted.

On the SUN, i can't get any other messages except this occasional
ones that appears in the message file

ec 15 16:35:05 lincoln pppd[7762]: ioctl(TIOCSCTTY): Bad file number
Dec 15 16:37:11 lincoln pppd[7784]: tcsetpgrp(): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Dec 15 16:37:59 lincoln pppd[7817]: tcsetpgrp(): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Dec 15 16:45:28 lincoln pppd[7897]: tcsetpgrp(): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Dec 15 16:45:37 lincoln pppd[7899]: tcsetpgrp(): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Dec 15 16:47:32 lincoln pppd[7957]: tcsetpgrp(): Inappropriate ioctl for device

Also, i forget to mentiont that i only followed the instruction in
the main directory of ppp-1.1, that is the README.sun,
	i.e compile a new vmunix with ppp
		make pppd and pppstats and setuid both

there is another readme in the "chat" directory which i have difficulty
with, i can't find the "ppp" file that it mention in all the script file.


on the 386, i use this command line
ppp /c 2 /s 9600
ppp /c 2 /s 9600 lincoln/pmilton

both doesn't work.


Any pointers on where to start will be appreciated,
