The kernel and Streams modules in this directory are taken from pppd
2.3.10 (ftp://cs.anu.edu.au/pub/software/ppp/) which is shipped
precompiled by Sun in the Solaris 8 media kit (1). The following legal 
notices apply to them. Please do read README.sfw which is shipped with
the precompiled modules.

If you do have installed the open source software from the media kit
you will find the modules in the /opt/sfw/kernel directory. If you do
with to use the kernel modules from your media kit you need to install
the SFWpppd package.

To install the modules do the following in this directory:

( cd kernel ; tar cf - . ) | ( cd /kernel ; tar xf - )
grep clone:ppp /etc/minor_perm || echo clone:ppp 0644 root sys >>/etc/minor_perm
/usr/sbin/rem_drv ppp 2> /dev/null
/usr/sbin/add_drv ppp

Please note:
The modules as well as the instructions above work for me on a SunBlade100
running Solaris 8 from the 01/01 Media Kit. I can't guarantee that this
will work on your system. Actually I don't take any responsibility for
anything if you install the ppp modules on your system. You do this
on your own risk.
The sources and headers for the modules are included in the directories
'modules' and 'include' for reference. If you do wish to compile the
modules yourself please do get the complete pppd source tree from the media
kit or from the location stated above.
You may want to get hold of downloadable pppd binary packages yourself.
In this case please visit http://playground.sun.com/pppd/ where you
can find up to date precompiled pppd packages.
