crowd.]

So where can I get a freely distributable implementation of PPP for
my Suns?
Get omnigate.clarkson.edu:pub/sun/ppp.tar.Z. It does RFC1134, but I
don't know whether it's been updated to 1171/1172 yet. Brad Clements
<bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu> wrote it for (I believe) the Sun386i, and
Karl Fox <karl@morningstar.com> ported it to the SPARC. I expect that
Karl's changes have been folded back into Brad's distribution by now.
We see FTP throughput of 1.3-1.5Kb/sec between a SPARCstation running
SunOS 4.0.3c and a Sun-4/110 running 4.0.3, connected by a pair of
Telebit Trailblazer Plusses talking PEP (without compression, I
think). Interactive performance is reasonable, but NFS is depressing.
I don't know about support for SunOS 4.1 or Sun-3s.karl@MorningStar.Com (Karl Fox) (08/28/90)

I just checked, and they haven't. Write me and I'll send them by email.
