I did this by taking the binary snapshot of 1.2D, pulling current,
configuring a new kernel, and recompiling the various pieces of
software.  The system even seems to be reasonably functional.  :-)

After working through various problems, I believe I got a successfully
compiled version of ipf.  The problems that I encountered seemed to be
mostly that make apparently wasn't searching the .PATH variable. (?)
I mucked around with the make files to get them to point to the
correct files for now.

I also found that the base release only defined /dev/ipf.  /dev/ipnat
was missing, so I 'mknod /dev/ipnat c 49 1' to get the device to be
present.  I haven't a clue as to whether this was the correct thing to
do or not.

My network configuration is 'ifconfig -a':

Note: I am the registered owner of 192.156.206.00.

I proceeded as follows:

Done per previous configuration.

Done.  PPP link is up an functional.

Done.  Not a reserved network, but used my registered IP.

Other machines are Macintoshes running MacTCP.  The gateway on them is
set to 192.156.206.1.

Done.  ipnat -l shows:

Did not run.  'sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding' shows:

Now the fun begins.  telnetting out gets me nowhere.  After attempting
the telnet, ipnat -s shows:

mapped	in	0	out	0
added	0	expired	0
inuse	0
rules	1

I then tried:

iptest -d ppp0 -s 192.156.206.3 -g 192.156.206.1 -4 primenet.com which
gave:

I suspect (and hope) that this is simply a configuration error of some
sort.  I'd greatly appreciate any hints that anybody could provide
that would help me get further.

Thanks in advance,
