I've tried a few more configuration file variations, but have given up on
'asppp' on the Solaris 8 system I have in the field. This is an older build:
Solaris 8 10/00 s28s_u2wos_11b SPARC.
The asppp program continues to exit with "tcsetattr failed Error 5: I/O error"
after the login program starts /usr/sbin/aspppls
However, I have been able to get the ANU ppp software to work. After a minor
problem with the build/install, it was trivial to configure and get running
for a dial in server.
The most recent official release 2.4.1 isn't set up to build with gcc, which
I use. On the recommendation of James Carlson, I used the current CVS
version. The other complication is having a version of gcc that can build 64
bit modules. These packages from sunfreeware.com work:
gcc-3.2.2-sol8-sparc-local
binutils-2.11.2-sol8-sparc-local
I've installed 'binutils' to get the current version of the assembler. I
haven't tried using the Sun assembler; I've had it disabled for years now
because of some other problem with gcc.
If the 'ld' linker in GNU's binutils is used, the makefile
solaris/Makefile.sol2gcc-64 needs to be changed so "-m elf64_sparc"
is passed to the GNU linker.
I also received these helpful references:

James Carlson noted that sections related to Sun PPP 4.0 (based on ANU ppp)
were incorrect - a request for change has been made to the authors.
There is also
http://www.kempston.net/solaris/pppserver.html
and document 18363, "How to set up dynamic client and server ppp" on SunSolve.
