Ken,
My nmh is 1.7, so reasonably current :-)
Since I created during the nmh/mh early days, I've not noticed the
masquerade support was incorporated. the mts.conf file had served
me well for all these years, and I just migrate the same one from
upgrade to upgrade.
Since no longer necessary, I'll remove it!
Thanks!
