I'm told those PairGain DSL boxes you use at NookNet can do Network
Address Translation, Ramon. I've got a set on order, but they've not
arrived yet.
I'm going to be in a similar situation as the original person, and I was
planning on plugging the DSL box into my Ethernet Hub, use disconnected IP
addresses and let the DSL box translate the IPs. Having not yet had an
opportunity to play with this stuff, I'm sure there are flaws to my
design.
