	Sammy,
	There was a sheflug/manlug talk last year on how to set-up a
SoHo Network. This was quite useful. Other than that, the set-up is
fairly easy: you just need ifconfig and route. Now, type man ifconfing
or man route, and run for an online tutorial! X-)

	At any rate:
(i) Pick the addresses from the ranges Richard and Lewis have provided
(mainly done with ifconfig)
(ii) Add a route to the interface (maily done with route)
(iii) Add a translation table to translate from "text addresses" to IP
addresses
(iv) Then think about masquerading

	Best luck,
	José
