Up front, let me thank the several people who responded to my plea
for guidance in getting diald and IP-Masq to work together, given my
overall lack of experience-with/knowledge-of such things.
I've now got it so it seems to work, after a late-night hacking session
with the docs and emails spread out before me.

So far I have only a basic set of ipfwadm rules, taken (derived) from
the Linux IP Masquerade mini HOWTO (which is anything but MINI, it's
something like 40-60 pages!). I prolly need to study the other, more
secure set that is given there and see if I can make use of them, but
I'm trying to take baby steps since I don't have a good grasp of this
stuff.

Yeah, but not thoroughly enough. Once I did do it more thorougly some
bits of it began to make more sense, so that with the addition of the
advice you (and others) gave me I got it apparently working last night
(early this morning).
I have (for reasons too gross to go into here) been transferring my
mail and news in/out with my ISP via UUCP for years. For the last year
or so it has been via UUCP over a PPP link. As of last night, with both
IP-Masq and diald working it all happens "magically" via the network
server. Also, my distributed.net RC5-64 client now works the same way,
and pinging my ISP, and firing up netscrape anywhere in the household
network (or Opera on the Windoze boxen) immediately causes the server's
modem to dial. So I take that as evidence that I at least have the
basics right.
Thanks again for all the replies!
