Thanks to all those that helped.  I'm up and running now.  My problem
was the IP being specified in the MSQ setup.  I was using
192.168.0.0/24 and changing to 192.168.1.0/24 did the trick.
Changing the MSQ_DEV from eth0 to ppp0 didn't seem to make any 
difference.
I also had to put the following in my boot.local 
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0

It was a little frustrating that it took so long to get this
working when the steps were so simple.  A little 5 Minute Masquerding
HowTo on the SuSE site would be useful since I think this is something
the majority of people who use Linux want to do.  I'm glad that
SuSE put the MSQ symbols in the configuration file, it does make
it easier once you understand what needs to be done.

Again thanks to the great mailing list.

Now on to try my Windows98 and Win2K clients, then firewalling!

BTW: is there any real reason to run Squid if I only have a couple of
machines on my home net?

regs,
