PPP for netbsd/sparc is fairly simple. you just use some utility (such as 
tip, kermit, etc) to establish your connection and then start pppd with 
the appropriate switches for your setup. The only problem that i've had 
so far is that some sparc class machines (such as my IPC) have a problem 
with flow control and therefore drop characters a lot. Aside from the 
fact that this causes lots of slow downs due to fifo overruns with a high 
speed modem, it tends to drop characters out of the connect string so 
kermit doesn't realize that it has connected. Any sugestions? Or has the 
serial driver in current been updated at all? 

Also, I recall before that I couldn't get SLIP/CSLIP to run due to a 
serial driver problem. Has anybody out there gotten SLIP/CSLIP to work on 
an IPC? IF so, how?

thanks
