As a real newbie to NetBSD and UNIX, could you give me some help setting up my
NetBSD box as a network gateway?

I'm running NetBSD on a P200 with a modem and a Linksys 10/100 card.  The rest
of the PCs on the Network are Win98 boxes with a Fastethernet Hub.

What I need is some assitance in getting my modem setup (like what programs to
use and what files to edit), getting my network setup to use the gateway
(especially the Win98 boxes), and my ISP (I'll get that myself though) setup.

Any help is apprecated.  I don't need a detailed walk through (I hope), just
some direction signs.

Thanks,
