Thank you for the excellent responses:

Get Trumpet Winsock for your PC from ftp.utas.edu.au (The University
of Tasmania), under /pc/trumpet. It's a $25 piece of shareware.

For the Workstation:
  (1) go with Solaris' default PPP.
           (a pain to setup and often buggy.)
  (2) Morningstar PPP
           ($895 if you have unlimited pocket change at home!) or
  (3) Slirp.
           (A free, easy to setupslip/ppp emulator you can get at
            http://peak.usa1.com/slirp/index.html

With regards to setup in Solaris. The admintool should be enough.

If you need a good free POP/E-mail client, check out pegasus at
