And since I'm not a very good 'hack', I'll stick with the tools provided.
:)  Thanks for your reply.  I posted in -net (I'll forward to you if you
want) regarding my specific salutation and why 'ipfw fwd' hasn't worked for
me.

Any ideas you have will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

Strictly speaking, this wouldn't be IP.  There are a number of ways to
hack something like this, but bear in mind that they all really are
hacks.  The "non-hack" way to do it would be to run real routing
protocols, but that requires cooperation from the ISPs...
