Delved into this a bit, and found some claims that there's no PPP driver for A/UX, so I guess there's the answer. I know about NetBSD. However, in my somewhat irrational mind, it lacks the cool factor of A/UX, the spiritual stepfather of Mac OS X (the biological one being NeXTStep, obviously).
- rjsw 6y agoThe PPP protocol isn't very complicated, how easy it would be to add to a binary-only UNIX is another question. You could have a look for whether the A/UX network stack is from BSD or System V. One thing that would make a big difference is whether it supports STREAMS [1].
