An easier solution is to setup a linux box (I like Mandrake) and use
that for your dial-out. It would do all of your IP forwarding, you
could even get it to be your DNS and proxy server that has a parent
proxy server (your ISP).

You use a private IP range on the inside (192.168.1.x) and the box
will translate everything. If you do look decide to look into it it's
called IP Masquarading.

When I had setup that same thing I was getting much faster bits/sec
with the same connection speed due to the better IP stack on linux.

I didn't have a monitor on my linux box and just used telnet to
initiate the dial-up script and do changes. There even packages that
will automatically dial if you request something outside your network.

Harry
