        I'd be very interested in hearing whether or not this is 
possible with NetBSD (the SPARC port in particular).  I have a Sun 
SPARCstation IPC (currently running SunOS, but it can be changed :-) 
which I am soon going to replace with a Linux box just so that I can use 
the IP masquerading features (my ISP won't give me more IPs).

Thanks.

Mike.
