There is a EZ(er) PPP setup tool that comes with the Solaris server bundle. It just doesn't come with the developer (free) Solaris. At least, that's my understanding. Why they don't just make it a part of AdminTool, I haven't a clue. While it is true that the UUCP PPP setup is a bit on the archaic side, I personally (as a nix newbie) found Solaris PPP setup easier than PPP under Linux. Either way, I have a MUCH greater undertstanding of TCP/IP networking than I otherwise would have as a sheltered Windows user. Installing PPP was hours (and hours) well spent. IMO -JCJ
