a couple of things, but it would be helpful to know more about the
symptoms: can you see the linux box? can you see any of the rest of the
subnet?
you set the IP, mask etc.etc. in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS?
make sure you specify "proxyarp" in /etc/ppp/options
make sure "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward" returns 1
later
