Hi Joseph,

I don't know of any sparc specific HOWTO's from a NetBSD point of view 
but I'd image if you google for it you'll probably find a few.  They 
will most likely be for x86 so you may have to substitute the odd thing 
here and there (like a device name).

Martin is also right in that the man pages are a good starting point and 
I think they even offer some examples on ppp dial in configuration.

One thing to watch out for, as I found when I tried to do this, is the 
speed of your serial ports on the sparc box.  With some older sparc's it 
may limit the maximum speed of the connection that you can get.  Have a 
look through the port-sparc mailing list about this as I think there was 
something on this fairly recently.  Sun's site may also offer some 
technical doco on this or perhaps if someone is a little more familiar 
with the sparc LX hardware they would care to offer a comment on this . . .

HTH
