[plug] Install/Setup an internet gateway

>What you wanting to do with it? Ive set up a 486 box at home as a

I just want to have it use my dialup connection so that I can net
from my Winblows box or various other boxes as I get them online. 
Probably using diald to handle the actual dialup, and letting me send
e-mail to ROW from any machine on my network (perhaps Linux acting as
a POP or IMAP server so that I can centralise my mail)

>(samba, print, nfs) as well as doing IP-Masquerading for all the 
Samba I can do.  Don't need/use NFS at present, but shouldn't be too
hard (famous last words)
