Stoyan,
thanks for your reply and info.
My uncertainy comes from the fact that when I asked my reseller about this in the UK he daid that the latest release of Solaris 8
is 7/03... which he subsequently sent to me, and that this release had the ppp 4.0 in it . He said this release was newer than 10/01 release.
So to check this out and to find what exactly is included in each release I went to the Sun site (been doing it all morning) but no real luck.
I'm still not sure whether the release I have includes PPP 4.0 Maybe I will check again for these packages as I didn't check the names of the actual packages
Just the application/software name and it was PPP not PPP 4.0 maybe PPP in this release has these new packages but I not so sure.
I checked the page you referenced but it does not explain what the numbering
A confusion is e.g. how can 7/03 be later than 10/01 but apparently it is?!
Thanks
mit freundlichen Gr�ssen
anthony

hello,
to use PPPoE (PPP 4.0) with Solaris 8 you should have at least Solaris 8
10/01. the packeges are:
SUNWpppd - Solaris PPP device drivers
SUNWpppdu - Solaris PPP daemon and utilities
SUNWpppg - GNU utilities for PPP
SUNWpppdr - configuration files
SUNWpppgS - ANU source code
SUNWpppdt - PPPoE modules
you can not use Solaris 8 07/01 with PPPoE even if you install the PPPoE
Module.
here is the "what's new" document from sun for the 10/01 Solaris release
that mentiones PPP 4.0
here is also a good article that explains Solaris Releases:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/solarisVersions.html
it is also a good idea to check Sun's http://docs.sun.com site that has
documentation for all the available releases and also includes "What's
new"/"Release Notes" documents for each release.
hope this helps
Stoyan
