Drew,
  I run kernel 2.0.33 on a home network using ip forwarding and
ip masquerading successfully.  I'm waiting for ASDL to be implemented in
my area.  That being said....

  You're running an experimental kernel, drop back to 2.0.33 or 34 and see
what happens.  There's an article in the Linux Journal June, 1998 dealing
with xSDL.  Maybe that will help.  Sorry I can't be of more help.

Keep me posted on your results (curious minds want to know).

Steve
