My ISP, slip.net in San Francisco, recently switched from SunOS to Solaris. 
When they did
I could no longer get allocated an IP.  I get ppp connected but then
get the message to console:

unknown protocol (80fd)

then SIGHUP.  I'm using runpppd, chat, dial.isp, and options.
The scripts all work for my ppp connection and work but like I
said it now fails with my ISP.  Also, I noticed that my ISP
uses a LAP protocol.  Does anyone have some clues on what my
problem maybe ?


cheers,
