I've got a Sparc 5 running Solaris 7 with the Solstice PPP client.
When I run ppptool, it connects, starts ppp negotiation, and then
hangs up. I've got the debug level set to 9, and here's what I get
in the log file:
04/06/00 15:13:57 - start_ppp: top module=ttcompat
04/06/00 15:13:57 - start_ppp: popped ttcompat
04/06/00 15:13:57 - start_ppp: top module=ldterm
04/06/00 15:13:57 - start_ppp: popped ldterm
04/06/00 15:13:57 - start_ppp: done popping modules
04/06/00 15:13:57 - DEVICE up for ipdptp0
04/06/00 15:13:57 - IP_NCP starting on ipdptp0
04/06/00 15:14:09 - LCP finished on ipdptp0
04/06/00 15:14:09 - Disconnecting device pppdev0

note the pause before "LCP finished". Is this caused by the same problem
that requires "P_ZERO" in /etc/uucp/Systems for the other ppp utilities?
If so, where would I put it? The Solstice PPP client doesn't appear
to use the uucp setup.

I've tried this with two different modems: a MultiTech MT5600ZDXV and
a MultiTech MT2834ZDX, both configured with the MultiModem MT2834BLF
modem definition. Is there a more extensive modem definitions file
available somewhere?

Thanks,

No, it doesn't. And no, the problems logging in that needed P_ZERO
don't appear to be what's happening here. You're getting past the
login/password stage.

Run the ppptrace command on the pppdev0 device before starting the
connection with pppconn or ppptool. Ppptrace will show the PPP
packets being exchanged, and that's what you need to see.

This is very unlikely, but ...
I discovered problems like this happen with all the names didn't
exactly match. I had one name on the ifconfig and another in /etc/passwd.

Don't ask how I know this.
