Re: No ip-masquerade after upgrade 2.2.19 to 2.4.20

[Russ Cook <russcook@flash.net>]

Thanks for the reply.  I'm still in a quandary.  I have installed
.deb packages for iptables and ipmasq.  I believe I have enabled
the appropriate kernel options (there seem to be many more options
in the 2.4 series kernel).  I regret to say that I am ignorant of
the intricacies of the iptables package, and don't have documentation
to read.  Is anyone willing to summarize the minimum kernel options
I must enable to provide ipmasq over a ppp dial-up connection?  I'm
stuck and still using my old 2.2 kernel.

Thanks much,
   Russ
