Better late then never. This was the original posting:

Thanks to Casper Dik <casper@holland.Sun.COM>. He at least made me think
about it again:

Casper: You need to make sure that the scripts that "ifconfig"the PPP
Casper: interfaces enable SKIP when doing so.

Enable here means '. /etc/opt/SUNWicg/skip/acl.<ipd>', and that's
almost mentioned nowhere. Further (if anyone is trying to do it too),
make sure your mtu size is 1500-skipoverhead (e.g. 1366). Unfortunatly,
putting mtu in the ifconfig cmd in /etc/asppp.cf didn't work ...

But finally it's working ... thanks again - Markus
