Do you have your system configured to be a gatway in /etc/sysconfig?
# If you want this host to be a gateway, set to YES.
gateway="YES"
If not, your system will not "forward" packets between interfaces, which
is clearly what you want to happen. ;^)

You must configure your modem to drop the CDC or Carrier Detect signal
when the line hangs up. If using pppd, make sure the dial-in line has
hangup control 'hupcl' enabled as well (I think IIJPPP does this
automagically).
