Please let me know if you have any success, or response back via e-mail at mpeer@cccd.edu. I have had success with gateD from merit, its in the packages section of 2.0.5 version 3.5a10 and 2.1.0 version 3.5a11 with ethernet cards. My host has 2 ethernet cards, and 4 modems. I am trying to get iijppp to route to my lan at home, no success so far. Static routes don't seem to help much, but I have never been very good at static routes. Hope this might help some, if I figure out anything I'll e-mail you back.
