I once got Linux IP-Masquerade working with PPP.  This is much more work
to set up than slirp, but it works much better.

Relevant HOWTOS:

IP-Masquerade-HOWTO

PPP-HOWTO

As far as accounts go, they can set their PPP client to automatically
dial in to their normal account and run pppd from command line.  I know
Windows used to allow for such scripting, so I'm assuming it still does.
