I have a FB system connected to a LAN (with a LAN card). Since it also has
a serial port, I would like to dial in from another PC as a PPP user to
access the LAN. To avoid changing routing tables or getting another class C
address, I would like to appear to the LAN as a different host on the same
network. Is it possible to do this, with proxy ARP or some other way?
LAN <mynet>

Thanks for any suggestions.
