static IP on PPP to non-ISP

["Richard E. Hawkins Esq." <hawk@eyry.econ.iastate.edu>]

hmm, i tried to do this a few minutes ago, and it never came back . . .

it has occurred to me that i didn't configure the laptop, which dials 
in and connects to my desktop, any differently for it's network than 
the desktop.

I have second IP adress assigned on the same subnet.  I need to use a 
script to navigate my way from the modem pool to my own machine, also 
running debian.

Do I need to tell it somethinh to let it know to use the desktop 
machine?  perhaps a hosts entry?  and do i need to tell the big machine 
anything to catch traffic for the laptop?
