It's pretty trivial, actually. You can use SLiRP or TIA to do the NAT with a dynamic IP on the remote interface, or you can run something like ipfilter to do NAT on the local interface once you know the assigned IP address. I don't use PPP that often, so I've been doing this manually every time I open a link. Would be pretty easy to setup a script with pppd, though. - Tim Iverson iverson@lionheart.com
