Ok so far so good. It looks like I did have the m68k version instead  of the
i386. I got the right one, reinstalled 1.4.2, then ppp2.3.10 and finally
rp-pppoe2.0. I have successfully connected with the pc(running netbsd142). I am
trying to set up the firewall. I am able to ping the nic connected to the adsl
modemfrom other machines on the lan but cannot get onto the net from there. I
have ipnat and ipfilter on.

ipnat.conf reads

#/sbin/ipnat -f
#
map ne2 192.168.100.1/32 -> 151.203.0.0/16 portmap tcp/udp 40000:60000
map ne2 192.168.100.1/32 -> 151.203.0.0/16

map ne2 192.168.100.1/32 -> 151.203.0.0/16 proxy port ftp tcp/udp


ipf.conf reads

#/sbin/ipf -f -

block in quick all with short

When I had a static ip 151.203.0.0/16 was 151.203.19.71/32 and it worked great.
I will continue searching the net for firewall stuff. I feel like I am only
missing a few things here. I can almost smell it is so close
