Get omnigate.clarkson.edu:pub/sun/ppp.tar.Z. It does RFC1134, but I don't know whether it's been updated to 1171/1172 yet. Brad Clements wrote it for (I believe) the Sun386i, and Karl Fox ported it to the SPARC. I expect that Karl's changes have been folded back into Brad's distribution by now. We see FTP throughput of 1.3-1.5Kb/sec between a SPARCstation running SunOS 4.0.3c and a Sun-4/110 running 4.0.3, connected by a pair of Telebit Trailblazer Plusses talking PEP (without compression, I think). Interactive performance is reasonable, but NFS is depressing. I don't know about support for SunOS 4.1 or Sun-3s.
