Simplistically,

	ipchains -A forward -s [local-network] -d 0/0 -j MASQ
	echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

.. where [local-network] is your lan - mine is 192.168.0/24. You can also 
write that as 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0. Once you get further into 
ipchains/tables, you may want to take it further, but on a dial-up you don't 
need much more than Rusty's Three-Line firewall (it's in the IPCHAINS HOWTO). 

(I presume you're running 2.2.19 as per standard slack8 - if not, you have 
some more research to do ;)

Oh, and hello everybody, back again! Somehow I was unsubscribed/unsubscribed 
myself. Thought the list was a little quiet ;)

Cheers,

Alex.
