In order for the server to support forwarding IP packets from ethernet to ppp it has to have been compiled with "options GATEWAY" in the kernel config file. Which the generic kernel isn't. Other than that minor detail everything else is correct. I.e. using proxyarp is sufficent to make things work right. Thanks to all those who sent me mail and advice... -matthew
