This contains:

#! /bin/sh
# Bring up localhost link
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1

# Bring up ethernet link
ifconfig eth0 172.16.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 172.16.1.1 up

# Tell kernel to do IP forwarding
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# Tell ipchains to do Masquerading
ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.1.0/24 -j MASQ

Yes. Just to be sure, I rebooted and tried it again. It didn't work. Also,
poff didn't work this time.  After trying it, I typed "ps aux | grep ppp"
which listed "/usr/sbin/pppd call p" TWICE. killall worked to disconnect.
