how do I configure a dial up modem to connect to my ISP?

I'm new to Solaris.Just installed Solaris 10 on an AMD64 and I'm trying to configure an external (real) 56k modem to dial out. It works under Linux and I'm assuming it will work with Solaris too. I configured the serial port for dial out. Then what? I cannot find a simple explanation anywhere for how to configure the modem and dial out. Is there a dialer program hidden somewhere that I'm missing? Please help before I flee back to Windows.Thanks.

A nice site with some good explainations. The reference is on Solaris 8 & 9 but it should also apply to 10.<a href=" http://www.kempston.net/solaris/" target="_blank"> http://www.kempston.net/solaris/</a>

I have prepared short info in<a href=" http://main2.amu.edu.pl/~apopiele/solaris.html" target="_blank"> http://main2.amu.edu.pl/~apopiele/solaris.html</a>It is for Solaris 9, but I suspect it could be useful also for Solaris 10.Andrzej

I have follow your instruction to connect to my ISP as it shows the following message:

Serial connection established.

using interface sppp0

connect: sppp0 <--> /dev/ttya

local IP address xxxxxxxx

remote IP address 1.1.1.1

But when I ping www.sun.com, it shows:

www.sun.com unknown.

I start Mozilla and it said www.sun.com not found etc...

What has gone wrong?

Do I have to configure some files such as:

/etc/resolv.conf

/etc/hosts

/etc/hostname?

or any other steps that can help me to connect to the internet?

Thanks...
