ENGINEERING REALEASE NOTES
--------------------------

ABSTRACT:

The ppp2x.tar file contains pppsetup - PPP Configuration Utility
for UnixWare 1.1 with the SDK and all 2.0 systems.  

SYMPTOM

Users have requested a utility to help configure PPP for
UnixWare 1.x and 2.x.  

Solution Specifics:

General Description:

These release notes acquaint you with the contents of ppp2x.tar.  The 
pppsetup utility allows users to setup their UnixWare 1.x or 2.0 systems 
to be a PPP host or client.  Although the utilitiy will use and preserve 
information from existing PPP configuration information, it is always 
recommended to backup this information prior to running dnssetup.  Some 
problems related to setting up PPP on UnixWare are related to syntax 
errors.  This utility should considerably reduce these errors.  The 
utility also makes it easy to maintain an existing PPP configuration.

New Features:

Pppsetup now sets up the Devices file and better handles editing the 
/etc/uucp/Systems file.

Software Notes and Recommendations:

This utility was designed to work on any 2.0 AS or 1.x sytem with the SDK 
loaded.  The utility will only work on a PE with the  the Personal Utilities 
installed.  The program relies heavily on the awk, grep, and nawk commands.
