Solaris PPP 4.0 Compatibility

Various versions of standard PPP are available and in wide use throughout the Internet community. ANU PPP-2.4 is a popular choice for Linux and all three major BSD variants (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD), and Tru64 UNIX.

Solaris PPP 4.0 brings the highly configurable features of ANU PPP-2.4 to machines that run the Solaris operating environment. Machines that run Solaris PPP 4.0 can easily set up PPP links, not only to machines that run ANU PPP-2.4, but to any machine that runs an implementation of standard PPP.

Some non-ANU-based PPP implementations that successfully interoperate with Solaris PPP 4.0 include the following:

• Solaris PPP, also known as asppp, available with the Solaris 2.4 through Solaris 8 operating environments

• Solstice^TM PPP 3.0.1

• Windows 98 DUN

• Cisco IOS 12.0 (synchronous)
