Well, FWIW, my setup is really simple, using iptables with a 2.4.x
series kernel:
iptables -F POSTROUTING -t nat
iptables -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE -t nat
Of course, you need to make sure all the appropriate bits are compiled
into your kernel. You just have to execute the above lines either
manually, or putting them in your boot scripts to get it going, and of
course replace the 192.168.0.0/24 as appropriate for your network.
HTH,
