I dunno about dhcp (which I don't think is really needed, IMHO, unless
people really want to work in an MS environment with that hack) but I do know
that slink does have ipchains. Only 2-3 days ago did I upgrade my main
machine to potato and it has been happily IPMasqing for my network for about a
year now. I started running 2.2.x since 2.2.0 came out. Kinda hard to do
IPMasqing without ipchains, right? :)
FYI, it is part of netbase.
