Hi All, :-) I'm please to report that thanks to Anil I've got my private network talking to the internet via my single IP and PPP. The solution is a hack of PPP for FreeBSD 2.1.5 by Charles Mott, http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html, that forwards packet for the private network. It was easy to compile and substitute inplace of the stock ppp. A little fine tuning of my Win95 config and I'm up and running. Thanks to all who have participated with suggestions. I still think there is a place for SOCKS5 in the future, but for now I'm a happy camper.
