	I love the theoretical conversation, but is it possible to
get a solution to a specific case?

	I'm running 2.1.0 with kernal mode PPP.
	I have a local ethernet, defined as 10.0.0.0, and I dial-up
		to the ISP.
	I want the Windows machines on the ethernet to believe
		they're talking to the Internet, with no/miminal
		changes in the client programs.
	I would much prefer to stay RFC compliant, but am willing to
		pass if I'm not actually causing problems and there's
		no better way.
	Firewall functions are interesting, but not the immediate
		concern.
	I'm not an expert (duh!), and will either need a
		"plug-and-play" solution or some serious advice during
		installation.

	So far what I've seen is a) stuff for user-mode but not
kernal-mode; b) NAT, which is not strictly compliant; and c)
SOCKS5, which sounds like it requires substantial work to install
and changes to the clients.
	What are my options?  (And where do I find SOCKS5?  I'd like
to RTFM.)
