NAT doesn't work this way. Your max68k box will send packets to the real
addresses, and NAT will change the _source_ address to your ppp0.
When the answer comes back, your NAT box will do the inverse translation
to the destination adres before forwarding it. 
So here you should have 
nameserver 205.216.36.20
in your resolv.conf.
