Can you try the following:
1. Get the latest version of natd (version 1.4, released today)
2. Use the -p option rather than -i and -o.
3. Try using ppp rather than pppd.
4. Try using "ppp -alias" without natd.

If it's still dumping after option 1, I'd be interested in how many
steps it took to get things working.  Can you post or mail me the
results ?  TIA.
