Getting DSL configured using Linux

[Kevin Brown]

yes you can have it redirect requests sent to port 23 to other systems (even if
they aren't behind it, heheh).  Just use NAT.  One warning, if it is in ppp mode
it most likely is going to get a new ip address every few days and the NAT will
have to be manually updated.
