OK, I'm about ready to give up. I've got an old Mac SE/30 running NetBSD/Mac1.1 and I've been trying to get a ppp link to my Sparc10 going using the Solaris2.5 ppp package (through port A). I've tried different cables, goofing with parity/handshaking and other things and it still doesn't seem to work. A look at the logs shows the mac timing out waiting for replies from the Sun (none show up). The Sun's logs show both incoming (the same one over & over) & outgoing config requests. It's as if the mac isn't seeing any input from the Sun (although tip works just dandy). Argh! Does anyone have any clues! Oooh, I feel like I must be overlooking something real basic. TIA! -Mike
