I had to tell someone!  I got IP aliasing to work so that my other 3
computers can all be on the internet via my FreeBSD box with only one
dialup!  I spent two days fighting with it because I had
gateway_enables="YES" got to watch that typeingg!

The manual was great except gateway=yes is gateway_enable=yes for 2.2.2,
and sysinstall is rc.conf.
