+This file describes the installation process for ppp-2.3 on systems
 running Solaris 2.  The Solaris 2 and SVR4 ports share a lot of code
 but are not identical.  The STREAMS kernel modules and driver for
 Solaris 2 are in the svr4 directory (and use some code from the
 modules directory).
 
+This version has been tested under Solaris 2.6.

+NOTE: Although the kernel driver and modules have been designed to
+operate correctly on SMP systems, they have not been extensively
+tested on SMP machines.  Some users of SMP Solaris x86 systems have
+reported system problems apparently linked to the use of previous
+versions of this software.  I believe these problems have been fixed.
