- Kernel code, which establishes a network interface and passes
packets between the serial port, the kernel networking code and the
PPP daemon (pppd). This code is implemented using STREAMS modules on
-SunOS 4.x, AIX 4.1 and OSF/1, and as a line discipline under Ultrix,
-NextStep, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux.

- The PPP daemon (pppd), which negotiates with the peer to establish
the link and sets up the ppp network interface. Pppd includes support
that system. The supported systems, and the corresponding README
files, are:
- SunOS 4.x README.sun
+ SunOS 4.x README.sunos4
NetBSD, FreeBSD README.bsd
Ultrix 4.x README.ultrix
Linux README.linux
OSF/1 README.osf
AIX 4.x README.aix4
NeXTStep README.next
- Solaris 2 README.svr4
+ Solaris 2 README.sol2
+ System V Release 4 README.svr4
In each case you start by running the ./configure script. This works
out which operating system you are using and creates symbolic links to
