Hi,
The solution is simple: Get an install ppp 2.3.10. It contains 64-bit
support for both, Solaris 7 and Solaris 8 beta. The source can be had
from:
ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/
I've compiled it with Sun Workshop C 5.0 without problems, the link is
up and running again and life is good.
Thanks // Tom
