-This file (README.osf) contains instructions for installing ppp-2.2 on a
-DEC Alpha running OSF/1 version 2.0 or 3.0. The original STREAMS
-module code is by (and copyrighted by) Brad Clements. See the source
-files and the general README file for full credits and copyright notices.

-If you would like to be on a mailing list concerning the ppp package,
-send mail to srt@cs.unt.edu and let me know. This mailing list should
-not have any regular traffic --- I will use it only if bugs are reported
-to notify everyone of bug-fixes.
-
-Note for users of the ppp-2.1.2 package: I have included a fix
-for the non-STREAMS tty drivers in this release. If you were using
-version 2.1.2 with a hardware serial port, then you probably used the
-"rlogin-kludge" that I described in the README that came with 2.1.2.
-You don't need this any more, and will have a more efficient connection
-if you get rid of this old work-around.

-Below are the steps for installing PPP on a DEC AXP system running OSF/1.
+This file (README.osf) contains instructions for installing ppp-2.3 on a
+Digital Alpha-based system running Digital UNIX (aka DEC OSF/1)
+version 2.0 through version 3.2F. Digial UNIX version 3.2G and beyond
+are not supported by this package, since PPP is an integral component
+of those releases. (Although it *is* possible to install this software
+on V3.2G and later of Digital UNIX, I would discourage this activity
+because it's likely to break the "update install" feature of Digital
+UNIX. You were warned...)
+
+If you encounter bugs in this using this PPP package under Digital
+UNIX then please let me (varadhan@zk3.dec.com) know. I can't promise
+quick turnaround but I should be able to address issues eventually.
+
+Below are the steps for installing PPP on Digital UNIX.
You must do all of the following as "root".
1. Make the kernel sources, daemon, chat, and pppstat program by typing
/usr/local/etc/ppp. If you want them somewhere else, just change
the definition of BINDIR in the top level Makefile.osf.
+ Note that BINDIR and MANDIR/man8 must exist before you do a
+ 'make install'
+
2. This step differs depending on whether you are running OSF/1 V3.0
or later.

+ FOR Digital UNIX V3.2G AND V4.0 AND BEYOND
+
+ This package does not support these versions of Digital UNIX.
+ PPP is an integral part of the OS. Please see the Guide to
+ Network Administration for details on configuring PPP.
4. Find your system's configuration file. This should be called
/sys/conf/SYSNAME, where SYSNAME is replaced by the name of your
5. Add the following line at the end of /sys/conf/SYSNAME:
- pseudo-device ppp 2
+ options PPP
6. Build a new kernel by using the command
9. Reboot and you're ready to go!
