About a fortnight ago I saw a discussion on comp.unix.solaris about PPP on Solaris. (Not sure if this was Intel- or Sparc-specific, or generic. Wasn't paying much attention at the time.) Apparently, Sun plan to give PPP a major overhaul in the next release. I believe this will be a 2.5.x release, rather than 2.6. I run Netscape 3.0 on Solaris 2.4, on a Sparc with a 28.8 modem. I don't have stalling problems, but I can't say that PPP exactly flies along. Do you know how to benchmark it?
