So your base 4 machines all have static addresses assigned by you on
your intranet.
The ibook on dialup would have a second subnet (not the right word?)
that gets its
dynamic address assigned by your isp.
Since you run IPNR you can route the traffic from internet to your
intranet.
As you assigned your ip addresses on all your machines manually, the DHCP
module works fine with your intranet and you can plug other machines in
and be given
a dhcp address (dynamic) by IPNR.
As you know the static addresses of your base machines, configuring them to
run services, whether the ibook or the LCIII is the uplink, serving
should be easy.
If you said yes to these then I dont understand your actual problem. sorry.

Yes you are running 2 subnets(?). Do it properly and IPNR on the LCIII
should be able to
serve over the modem/printer port to a nic-less classic while the the
ibook is doing the dialup.
You could run another classic server along side the LCIII. :-)
If the ibook had the ports to localtalk the classic you could do it that
way using a three sub-net
config. Good thing the classics only browsing text or you would not be
happy with the
speed on dialup.

Sorry, haven't been on dialup for sooo long I forgot. ;) You should know
what I meant.
Besides, a mac is more flexible since you can tcp over localtalk for
older macs. .
