The O'Reilly URL I posted uses ipchains to masquerade the Pilot's IP
address behind that of the machine it's connected to (I think). If this
is correct you might be able to use natd(8) and ipfw(8) to do the NAT. I
haven't tried this myself and I don't have a palm pilot and FreeBSD box
near each other at the moment.

(Guessing and reading rc.firewall)

natd -n eth0
ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via eth0

swap eth0 for your ethernet card name.

Cheers,
