I haven't really done much more than merge Charles' code (which changes
very little in the base ppp code) and add the 'set nat' code.  I understand
Brian may have made some further enhancements but I don't have that code
yet.

Actually, I like Jordan's idea of a command line switch for the simple
reason that the 'set nat on|off' *could* be turned on and off at any time
which would certainly confuse the clients/servers involved.  It seems to
be you'd want it either on or off for the whole session which the command
line switch accomplishes well.
