+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.
+You must do all of the following as "root".
+
+1. Make the kernel sources, daemon, chat, and pppstat program by typing
+
+ ./configure
+ make install
+
+ in the directory that this file unpacked into. This installs the
+ binaries for the PPP daemon and the statistics program in
+ /usr/local/etc/ppp. If you want them somewhere else, just change
+ the definition of BINDIR in the top level Makefile.osf.
+
+2. This step differs depending on whether you are running OSF/1 V3.0
+ or later.
+
+ FOR OSF/1 VERSIONS PRIOR TO V3.0:
+
+ | Add the following lines to the file /sys/conf/files:
+ |
+ | streamsm/ppp_if.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_async.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_init.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/vjcompress.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/bsd-comp.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_comp.c optional ppp Notbinary
+ |
+ |
+ | Edit the file /sys/streams/str_config.c --- at the end there will be a
+ | comment to the effect of "add new configurations above this comment".
+ | Add the following lines above this comment:
+ |
+ | bzero((caddr_t)&sb, sizeof(sb));
+ | sb.sc_version = OSF_STREAMS_CONFIG_10;
+ |
+ | retval = ppp_configure(SYSCONFIG_CONFIGURE,
+ | &sb, sc_size, &sc, sc_size);
+
+ FOR OSF/1 VERSIONS V3.0 AND LATER:
+
+ | Add the following lines to the file /sys/conf/files:
+ |
+ | streamsm/ppp_if.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_async.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_init.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/vjcompress.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/bsd-comp.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+ | streamsm/ppp_comp.c optional ppp if_dynamic ppp Notbinary
+
+4. Find your system's configuration file. This should be called
+ /sys/conf/SYSNAME, where SYSNAME is replaced by the name of your
+ host. For example, on my machine (zaphod.csci.unt.edu) it it called
+ /sys/conf/ZAPHOD. I will refer to this file from now on as
+ /sys/conf/SYSNAME.
+
+5. Add the following line at the end of /sys/conf/SYSNAME:
+
+ pseudo-device ppp 2
+
+6. Build a new kernel by using the command
+
+ doconfig -c SYSNAME
+
+ (say "n" to "Do you want to edit...").
+
+7. Copy the new kernel to /vmunix --- I'm usually pretty nervous about
+ writing over a perfectly good kernel with one that I'm not sure
+ about, so I will usually "mv /vmunix /vmunix.old" first. To put
+ the new kernel in place, do a "cp /sys/SYSNAME/vmunix /vmunix".
+
+8. Make sure your system is set up so that it can act like a gateway
+ for messages to your new connection. In particular, check the file
+ /etc/rc.config for the line define ROUTER, and make sure it is
+ defined as "yes".
+
+9. Reboot and you're ready to go!
+
+Hopefully, that should work with no hitches. If there are problems, or
+if I have made a mistake in these instructions, please let me know.
