Hi all

I am trying hard to get the following to work:

NetBSD on a 486 DX2 50 MHz on a network
where a small number of PC's are running WinSock 2.0
and the problem being, that I have not been able to make
the NetBSD machine work as a router via a PPP link to
the net.

I can 'see' the request for information transmitted via
the PPP link, but nothing comes back ???

I am able to telnet and ping from the NetBSD box out on the PPP link
but not from any of the PC's, so to me that means the the NetBSD is
not routing ???

ppp_setup is like this
#! /bin/sh
chat -v "" "atz" "OK" "atdt45935000" "CONNECT" "\d" "login:"
"Loginname" "Password:" "Password"

ppp_start is like this:
#! /bin/sh
FS=' '
pppd connect /etc/ppp_setup crtscts defaultroute lock mru 296 modem
/dev/ttyd0 38400

and a ppp_stop like this
#! /bin/sh
for PPP in /var/run/ppp*.pid
do
  kill `cat $PPP`
done

I'm new at this unix setup so please...
Please help. This is driving me crazy.
