PPPD has shipped with Solaris since Solaris 8. For older versions of Solaris, the binary and source is available from Peter Marelas at http://www.phase-one.com.au/solaris-x86/pppd/ PPPd 2.3.5 is compiled for Solaris 7 but works for more recent Solaris versions. More recent versions of PPPd are not required but are available (source only) from ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/ Follow instructions in file README.sol2 to compile. To use PPPD follow the instructions in the System Administration Guide: Resource Management and Network Services at http://docs.sun.com/ or follow these directions below. PPPD Configuration To configure, you set up a chat script to handle the ISP dialog and enter the phone number and other parameters in the pppd options file. Examples I use are below (files are in /etc/ppp unless otherwise mentioned). I removed files chap-secrets and pap-secrets, as I don’t need them for my ISP. File connect-errors has error output, if any, from bad connections.
