(Oh, not > forgetting the mail stuff too!). You won't need any routing software, use user-PPP over ISDN with appropriate options for NAT. My settings are as follows (slightly edited to avoid unsightly line wraps. This is for a single-channel dial-on-demand connection. Tweak as appropriate.

If I've missed anything I'm sure Brian will be along to correct me.....
