Hello,
I'm preparing to move up to a NetBSD 3.1 machine. As a
temporary measure, I have connected the new machine to my
existing one via a serial cable and (with help! :-) built
a SLIP connection between them...
,--------------, ,--------------,
| tinman | | almond |
| ~~~~~~ | | ~~~~~~ |

| | | 192.168.0.254|--10baseT--> to NAT
`--------------' `--------------' gateway
...my existing machine, almond, has a 10baseT card and
is connected to the Internet via a (non-NetBSD) NAT gateway.
What is the cleanest, simplest way to let tinman share
almond's Internet connectivity? I would like to fetch pkgsrc
and start building a comfortable place to live. I looked in
the NetBSD Guide, but it seemed to point towards NAT on
almond, which feels like overkill.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
