Ok, after going crazy for a while I finaly found an answer to this
problem.
It came down to the speed field in the Systems file. From what I can
gather this is not the speed of the modem connection, but rather the speed
of the UART. I changed 115200 to 38200 and the connection went through
(connecting to my 28.8bps line). I still have problems connecting to my
56k line, but this might just be because of the x2 tech. being used by my
modem. One note though: pppd-2.3.3 has no such problem - so after the
challenge of setting up asppp was over I installed pppd-2.3.3 so that
I could use my higher speed connection.
Now I just have to get by ppp-client to route packets for my other solaris
boxes, which are connected via a hub. yes.. I'll spend a lot of time with
the manuals before I post that question. I was under the impression that
all I had to do was setup a /etc/gateways file (blank) on the ppp-client,
and add that host name into the other boxes' /etc/defaultrouter to get it
to work though. hmmm... maybe I should give FW a shot.
Well, thanks for listening to all of my babble here, and I hope this
summary will help out other lost souls..
