Does anyone know where I can get the necessary sources to add PPP and
hopefully VJ's Header Compression to SUN 3's and 4's?? Or are we still
stuck with slip even when something better has been devised??
Any pointers??

CSLIP and SLIP sources for Sun 3 & 4 systems are available from
uunet and several other systems. As of Interop, I have not seen
or heard of a WORKING PPP for SunOS. Good Luck!

You can get a version of PPP for Sun OS 4.* (using streams) via anonymous ftp from omnigate.clarkson.edu:/pub/sun/ppp.tar.Z This distribution is for non-commercial use. It was generated on a Sun 386i running 4.0.1, hence some of the include file requirements have changed. If you have trouble installing it, drop me a line and I'll send you some comments from others who have gone through and determined what changes are required. This version does VJ TCP header compression. | Brad Clements bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu bkc@clutx.bitnet | Sr. Network Engineer Clarkson University (315)268-2292 ps.

There IS a PPP available for SunOS which supports VJ compression. You can get it from Brad Clements, bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu. Drew

Brad, I presume yours is an asynchronous implementation? Ours is purely synchronous..... Torben

Sometime ago Karl Fox from Morning Start Technologies had actually
made the changes necessary to have Brad Clements' PPP code compile
and run on Sun platforms other than the 386i... I had the changes from
Karl but my Sun's hard disk broke down. Karl may be reached at
