[Monachus Silentium]

|   other machines have their default gateway set to the eth IP, and when pppd
|   has me conneceted to the net, there is no traffic past ppp0 IP from one of
|   the client machines.  the BSD box does all the routing fine for itself,
|   but not for the clients.
|   
|   i've tried changing the gateway to ppp0 IP, but it still fails, and i lose
|   connectivity between machines if i'm not connected with pppd.  i've tried
|   adding a route between the two, but it still fails.

sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
