Is anyone aware of work being done to allow NetBSD do IP masquerading, aka
network address translation?  I currently have a private net at home, with
a Sun 4/260 running NetBSD, a Mac, and a PC that runs linux with a modem
line to the outside world. Linux acts as a NATD pretty well, but  I'd
rather put the modem on the Sun, as the PC is a laptop and I like to take
it with me (not much chance for taking the Sun with me; but if I could get
it to have the modem, I could telnet directly to it rather than have to go
through the PC).
