How is your NetBSD box connected to the internet? In order for your 
NetBSD box to act as a ISP itself, your ISP needs to update IT'S routing 
tables to allow your NetBSD box have more than one IP address. I have 
tried this myself and that was what I discovered.  If you have no 
way to get yourself more than on IP address, the only other solution is 
to get proxy server software for the NetBSD box and use whatever TCP 
software on the MacOS that supports proxies (Netscape, Fetch, Archie, 
quite a few acually). As well, you will need to set your NetBSD box up as 
a DNS, because the MacOS box cannot directly contact any other host exept 
for your NetBSD one, even for IP resolution.  If anyone has anthing to 
add or correct, (I'm certainly not an expert) please feel free to.

Hope this helps
