Dial-up PPP Template Files

Solaris PPP 4.0 provides template files, each of which contains common options for a particular PPP configuration file. The next table lists the sample templates that can be used for setting up a dial-up link, and their equivalent Solaris PPP 4.0 files.

Template File	PPP Configuration File	For Instructions
`/etc/ppp/options.tmpl`	`/etc/ppp/options`	"`/etc/ppp/options.tmpl` Template"
`/etc/ppp/options.ttya.tmpl`	`/etc/ppp/options.`ttyname	"`options.ttya.tmpl` Template File"
`/etc/ppp/myisp-chat.tmpl`	File with the name of your choice to contain the chat script	"`/etc/ppp/myisp-chat.tmpl` Chat Script Template"
`/etc/ppp/peers/myisp.tmpl`	`/etc/ppp/peers/peer-name`	"`/etc/ppp/peers/myisp.tmpl` Template File"

If you decide to use one of the template files, be sure to rename it to its equivalent PPP configuration file. The one exception is the chat file template /etc/ppp/myisp-chat.tmpl. You can give chat scripts any names that you want.
