Exactly.  If you don't have an assigned address space that the outside
world isn't aware of, then you have several choices:
	.  Obtain a address space from hostmaster@internic.net (unlikely)
	.  Obtain a subnet from your provider (possibly expensive)
	.  Run a firewall with proxies for clients (fwtk from TIS will
	   do this for some TCP clients, notably X, http, telnet and
	   ftp).  I do this on a netbsd host.  Works well for our 
	   purposes.
	.  Run socks and "socksified" clients

Perhaps there are more options, but I'm not aware of them.
