To answer your question, here's an excerpt from my original post:

A <---1---> B <---2---> C <---3---> D

A is an Ethernet interface at my ISP
B is a Linux box
C is a Linux box
D is my local area network
1 is an Ethernet segment
2 is a Serial pointopoint running CSLIP
3 is another Ethernet segment


Thanks for your help,
Kevin Traas
