Suggestions:
Stokely Consulting's Unix Serial Port Resources page at:
http://www.stokely.com/unix.serial.port.resources/ppp.slip.html
Usenet newsgroup:
comp.protocols.ppp
PPP Software:
ftp://merit.edu/pub/unix/ppp/ppp-2.2.tar.gz
dp-4.0 (phoenix.acn.purdue.edu).
Solaris ppp software (SUNWapppr, SUNWapppu and SUNWpppk)
- Several people suggested to avoid that...
PPP on terminal server (configure a port to use ppp as default protocol):
If host is rebooted, connections are not lost; of course while
the reboot is taking place, no new authentications are taking place
