: I am using a solution by Charles Mott (cmott@srv.net).
: It consists of a set of patches to the user mode ppp. It is very well

: and every thing else that I have tried. It is totally transparent
: requiring no configuration.
Yep - that's why I mentioned it ;)
: The install instructions are *very* clear and straightforward.
: I am extremely pleased with this solution.

: Is it missing some functionality that I am not aware of ?
I havn't used this code myself, but I would think that it should be
integrated assuming that NAT is not the default behaviour. I don't
know if Charles has submitted the code though.
