Hello

I am installing Solaris X86 2.6 to be my internal (home) server to connect
to my ISP.

The docs on Solaris PPP indicate that both ends MUST be Solaris PPP for this
to work. This seems rather odd to me.

Has anyone done this?

What other options for PPP do I have if this is really true?

TIA

Jamie

That's a misreading. Hundreds of people use solaris ppp to conect to their
ISP, which I assure you is not running solaris ppp.

perhaps the Solaris Docs were referring to the manner in which NT defaults
to for establishing a connection? i know that i had to recompile my
Linux box's pppd to allow for it, so i could connect to my ISP...
