The problem isn't with the PPP daemon I'm using, it's with setting up
some kind of IP aliasing scheme (in this case NATD).  The nic's are
using IP's in the 192.168.0.x range, and I'm connecting through dialup
to the net, which means through the tun0 interface if I understand
correctly.  I want the outside world to see all the computers as being
just one (the PPP connection) and still have all my computers get the
info they request, plus have some security (i.e. the firewall portion).

As you can see, I'd need to have PPP or pppd running all the time and
be connected before I can start NATD (unless there's something about
ppp that replaces NATD, but I don't remember hearing anything about
it...)

Thanks anyways :)
