NetBSD _does_ support IP masquerading, although NetBSD uses the term IPNAT
(network address translation) which is what everyone else in the world
except linux uses. The problem is that we don't currently support
LocalTalk, although Bill Studenmund was working on it last I heard.
I hope this clears things up a bit.
Later.
