pppconfig
that configures your connection
pon [providername]
Initiates it
poff [providername]
Stops it.
Look at /etc/ppp/ for more files/options and more importantly
/etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot (which you will change to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot)
for your gateway.
apt-get install ipmasq
Will get your ip masqerading working. And you can change the default
dynamic firewall setup with the scripts in /etc/ipmasq. man ipmasq for
more info
Kind Regards
