Use the address on your LAN. pppd will set your default route and do the
right thing with ifconfig when it comes up.

No, 255.255.255.0 The 192.168 address space is a set of 256 class C
networks. If you want a Class B, you should use 172. space like
172.16.0.0 withg a netmask of 255.255.0.0. A class A would use 10. space.
THe IP-Masquerade mini-howto lists the addresses of these networks that
have been set aside for this.

Do not worry about this, select none on the main workstation, pppd will
set the default gateway. On other workstations on this subnet, use this
machine as their default gateway.

Use this machine install the debian bind package. During
installation of bind, list your isp's nameservers as forwarders. This will
create a cacheing nameserver that will speed up mail delivery and save you
some bandwidth. You might create a local zone file for the 192.168.37
network and list your local machines.
