[ale] Media One Internet Service

[Gary Maltzen]

Lots of people have done similar.

I run a home network using a 486SX/33-16MB as my MASQ router for (minimum
of) four internal systems across an ISDN line; same principle - I have one
(static) IP address as far as the rest of the world is concerned.

You WILL need TWO ethernet adapters in the Linux MASQ router - one for M1
and the other for your local network. This assumes that they provide you an
external box with an ethernet jack rather than an internal adapter.
