Very Computer

Hi,

I am running Solaris 9 on my Ultra 5/10 system at home. I have already set
up the modem on this system to be able to dial in and telnet remotely.
However I would like set  up PPP-dialin, so that I can open up multiple
telnet session when working remotely.

I do realize that I will have to set up a user for PPP log-in as well an IP
address to return back and start PPP daemon service.
I probably have already done all of these fundamental steps. But when I
tried to start "apppd" daemon, it says it started with a PID ID.
I cannot see it in the process table, nor can i query it ps -t <PID-ID>.

It just does not show the PID running.

Would appreciate if one can help me through the procedural steps or tell me
what I am doing right.
I have successfully set this up on other Unix platforms, and it works.

Is very good if U wanna set aspppd on sol8, but Sol9 doesn't have aspppd
anymore, but pppd...!

BTW, the Sol8 aspppd pkgs DO WORK on Sol9....! if U install them from Sol8
to Sol9 using pkgadd...!

Cheers!

Perhaps, but that sort of setup won't be supported by Sun, if that matters to you.

Not only that, but it's pretty foolish to downgrade the PPP software
like that.  The pppd included with Solaris 9 is much, much more
capable than the tired old asppp.
