Yes,I'm running it on NetBSD1.3ALPHA/mac68k. 
 # delegated -P8080 SERVER=http://-/-/
is enough to see web pages from the other machine.
 # delegated -P119 SERVER=nntp://news.foo.bar/
for news,and so on.


I agree with you that setting up IP-NAT would be easier because of
its automatism and transparency. The reason I offered Delegate is 
just that I don't know how to set up IP-NAT on NetBSD/mac68k. 

Would you please tell me where I can find HOW-TO documents about 
IP-NAT on NetBSD/mac68k? 

I've got sources of IIJ-PPP(uses tun instead of ppp) from FreeBSD, 
applied a patch for NAT and on-demand dialing(
 <http://www2a.meshnet.or.jp/~junichi/freebsd/lowtech/nat-e.html>),
modified some. It works as IP-NAT. I've not tested on-demand-dialing.
But making it fully functional will need rewriting if_tun.h and 
if_tun.c, so I don't like this way. Delegate doesn't require NAT nor
modifing system sources such as /usr/include/*.


Sorry if you find impolite or rude expressions in my messages.
I'm not familiar with English language.
