generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided with
each patch.  Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below as special instructions.

have to run the following commands to enable ppp to 
start correctly:

 root> add_drv ipdcm
 root> add_drv ipdptp
 root> add_drv ipd

have problem when installing the patch. To avoid any trouble, do the

 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.
