Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be described below as special instructions. Special Install Instructions: ----------------------------- 1. If you have run backoutpatch on #103722-04, you then have to run the following commands to enable ppp to start correctly: root> add_drv ipdcm root> add_drv ipdptp root> add_drv ipd root> add_drv ppp 2. This patch provides a file for modem configurations and you may have modified the one already existing on your system (providing by PPP 3.0.1 CD-ROM or by previous patch). If so, you may have problem when installing the patch. To avoid any trouble, do the following steps: 1. save the modem file of your system 2. copy the original instead 3. install the patch and 4. report the modifications in the new modem file. 3. When installing SunLink PPP 3.0.1, make sure that bundled PPP packages are removed README -- Last modified date: Wednesday, February 28, 2001
