The IP-Masquerade mini-HOWTO should be a good place to start, to find
out about getting a pair of private addresses, and connecting to the
Internet with them even though they're not allowed on the Internet.
Also look at the PPP HOWTO, although the system it describes might not
be quite like Debian's pppd is set up. Read the pppd(8) man page, and
have a look at the files in /etc/ppp/, like pap-secrets and
options.ttyXX. I think the text at the top of options.ttyXX gets the
IP addresses in the wrong order, in my version anyway.
