Patch Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------- 
For Solaris 2.0-2.6 releases, refer to the Install.info file and/or
the README within the patch for instructions on using the generic
''installpatch'' and ''backoutpatch'' scripts provided with each patch.
For Solaris 7 release, refer to the man pages for instructions on
using ''patchadd'' and ''patchrm'' scripts provided with Solaris.
Any other special or non-generic installation instructions should be
described below as special instructions.  The following example
installs a patch to a standalone machine:
       example# patchadd /var/spool/patch/104945-02
The following example removes a patch from a standalone system:
       example# patchrm 104945-02
For additional examples please see the appropriate man pages.

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
