Once upon a time Gregory Kaloutsis shaped the electrons to say...
>Is it possible to have a PM2 act as a proxy in order save on the
>allocations of Ip's.
>ie. PM2 ip address: 203.203.203.203 (Visible to the internet)
>IP address pool for dialups : 192.168.50.1 to 192.168.50.30 (not visisble
>to internet)

What you are asking for is NAT/NAPT. Which is in ComOS 3.9. 3.9b8 just
appeard on the PM-3 today. It has been stated by Lucent that the plan is
to roll out the open betas on the other platforms in a staggered fashion.
4.1b15 for the PM-4 came out last week. 3.9b8 for the PM-3 today. Next
to come is the Pm-2/25, then the IRX, then the OR.

Note however that not all applications will work in a NAT/NAPT environment -
that's just a fact of life.
