Join the club, I've got very little hair left as well!  :-)

I've been fighting with this EXACT problem all day and all of tonight, and
I think I've more or less solved it with the help of a whole bunch of
people (Lenz Grimmer & Jon Penington as big contributers to what passes for
my sanity).  :-)

Ok, so you're probably using ppp0 as your connection device.

*grin*  Very close to what I'm doing...  Only difference is my clients are
192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.103 inclusive.

Good.

Take this for what it's worth, but I had to change MSQ_DEV="eth0" to
MSQ_DEV="ppp0".

Routes look good.  They'll probably look more expansive on your server when
your wvdial connection is active and up.

Lenz suggested that I install 2 packages:
"firewall" from the "n" series, and "ipchains" from the "sec" series.

He also gave me the following URL to read:

http://skaro.nightcrawler.com/~bb/FW-HOWTO/FW-Howto.html

I learned about the MSQ_DEV="eth0" to MSQ_DEV="ppp0" change from that URL.

Good luck...  I know how frustrating this piece of the networking puzzle
can be.  It should _not_ be this difficult.
