Well, I have the same question. I have set the variable in /etc/sysconfig 
to "YES", but what's next? All machines in my local network can see only 
each other and FreeBSD box, but they are cannot connect with any machines 
outside the FreeBSD box via ppp connection... (gateway, netmask, ip 
addressing are correct).

What I'm doing wrong?

Sincerely,
