Well, seems that he wants just ip-masquerading, then i would recommend
install a newer kernel (2.4.x) and do it with iptables. I have a simple
script to activate ip-masquerading and let the LAN connect to the internet:

wotan:~ # cat masquerading 
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

If I understood him false and he wants more than just IP-Masquerading, then
the firewall-HOWTO should be helpful
