From man 8 ppp nat port proto targetIP:targetPort[-targetPort] aliasPort[-aliasPort] [remoteIP:remotePort[-remotePort]] This command causes incoming proto connections to aliasPort to be redirected to targetPort on targetIP. proto is either ``tcp'' or = ``udp''. >And I am also curious of what you all think about ppp nat vs. NATd. I find the set filter alive and set filter dial features very useful for dial up modems. John.
