Hi,
I had this problem on a Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.5.1 It is a bug with
Sun and Win95. In order to resolve it I had to install the patches for
PPP which are available in the Recommended Patch list from Sun if I
remember correctly.

I believe I got the correct patch for asppp from here. If not the other
managers might have more info.

Subject: Re: Configuring a SUN as a PPP server using static IP address allocation
Jerry,
Which PPP is he running, asppp or PPP 3.0.1. I have setup both and I am
currently running PPP 3.0.1. When I was setting up 3.0.1, I was having the same
problem, it appeared to connect but then imediately disconnected but when I
logged in as terminal, e.g. using procom or hyperterm I was not disconnected.
This told me that my modem and port was setup correctly so It had to be PPP.
When I looked at the log file on the Sun, I found I had not installed the
license for 3.0.1. The asppp version does not need a license. Once I had the
license installed my configuation files were in need of some modifications.
Anyway, I finally got PPP 3.0.1 working so I have attached the configuration
files which are currently installed. I have included the ttydefs file out of
the /etc dir. because I customized an entry.
If you are install asppp and are still having trouble, I found acouple of other
tip sheets out on the web but I didn't keep them around. The main problem I had
with asppp setup was the modems need to be configured right. Below is how I
have one of my modems setup.

If you need a copy of the asppp.cf file, I'll dig one off of my backup.
Hope this helps!
---------- From Rick Brashear:
I went through this process about six month ago. In the long term it
involved turning on the activity logs to determine that some customization
to the W95 side startup script. I believe you have the option to access
the scripting features in the dialup networking app.... The thing you
must be most aware of is that earlier versions of W95 do not have access
to the tools necessary to to do the debugging and script customization.
If you have that version, at the time I did it, there was a patch kit
available from Microsoft. OSR2 release came complete with the setup....
Good luck!
