Okay when you start this what "exactly" do you need for packages?  ie what
do I include into my kernel you suggest ip gateway and ip masq anything
else (other than specifics to my config.) ???  

Then when I'm all done with that and have put in (and configured) a
network card (eth0)  how do I get ppp to act as a gateway (send packets to
other boxes on my home.net) and route traffic???

If I have a continous dialup connection is there anything special I need
to configure in other than the basic script to keep me on???

Thanks.
