Thanks for your answers so far. As some of you suggested it
seems a good idea to me to use user-ppp with -nat flag .

I always started ppp with
# ppp -ddial myconfig
now I should use
# ppp -nat -ddial myconfig
but the result is the same as before (see my first letter
at the end of this message).

I had a look at # man ppp  . It says, there could there
could be two reasons for that
1) IP-forwarding must be activated in rc.conf
   ( that should be the line
     gateway_enable="YES"  )  or
2) small has not designated big (the ppp-host) as gateway
   (how do I know ?)


Still more thanks for all your answers.

Uli.
