What was displayed where? Please cite the exact message und where it
was output (in a file? in the xterm? on the linux machine?)

Is 195.63.108.220 the IP address the NetBSD machine got assigned
on the ppp interface? netstat -rn might be helpful.

This agrees with the tcpdump output but is wrong!

This is also wrong! If I understand ipnat properly it should be

MAP 192.168.1.2 1027 <- -> 195.63.108.220 40000 [141.30.4.242 23]

Nevertheless, neither port 40000 nor port 1027 ever appear on the
ppp interface. Only port 1050. Did you have any other connection
open to 141.30.4.242 ?

I can't answer that question, someone else? I believe it _should_ work,
given that it can be configured to use dynamic addresses :-)

Still not using the options I asked for ...
Btw., which version of tcpdump are you using?

I just sent a mail to current-users asking if it should work.
