Solaris 2.6's ppp can be configured pretty easily as an ISP ppp client.
It's a commandline tool but it's 30 seconds work (literally).

Go to:
http://docs.sun.com/ab2
and then go to the 2.6 section and search for ppp. Take the
"Configuring PPP" link:

Configuring for Point-to-Point Protocol Connections

If you're running an earlier Solaris then just forget the supplied ppp
and use ppp-2.3.5 as you would under Linux. (Which works on Solaris
2.6, too, if you want).
