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. > 3) Settle for once and all whether it's Jordan's '-alias' flag in the command > line or Martin's 'set nat on|off' (Which I think is more elegant, at least in > theory). 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. > I'll do testing and documentation if someone will show me the Release > Candidate code that I can hammer on for a while.
