He uses a Cisco 677 router on my end.  It runs a DHCP server of which my LRP
box is the only client.  The LRP runs NAT and a DNS server for all the
machines on the inside of the firewall.  The space between the cisco and the
LRP is a real no-mans-land with a firewall on either side of an unroutable
subnet.

BTW: the LRP box is headless, but has a 8x40 LCD connected to the serial
port.  The LCD is driven by a PIC 16F84 running a dumb terminal emulator.
The syslog is dumped to the port.

It took me about 4 hours to switch the setup from a ppp demand dial
arrangement to the Cisco box.
