What are people using out there for PPP or CSLIP on a SPARC1
with Solaris 2.3. 

I would like a freeware package that works. The PPP that ships
with Sol 2.3 does not work. Or does it?

Thanks, mark@sofpak.com

Hi, me again.

I was successful in connecting my 286/kermit to my SPARC and use it
as a console, thanks to the help from this list.

I had no problem logging in the first time and I created a userid for
myself.

When I booted the machine a while later, the console was working fine
(I was getting all the boot output, able to type commands, etc...)
but when I got the 'login:' prompt I was only able to type one character
then the others were ignored. When I hit return, I got two consecutive
'login:' prompts (no password: prompt, so even the first character was
ignored even though it was echoed). After 3-4 tries, I got the
'/usr/etc/getty: failure on console, sleeping' message.

Any suggestions ?

When I booted in single-user mode, I was able to type commands and
mount devices or read the tape drive...

In case it matters: ttya is 9600,8,n,1,-  (BTW, what is this "-"
parameter ? 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, ?)

Thanks in advance,
