HOWTO: Mac OS X Networking

[Brad House]

interesting ... no mention of needing  iptables installed,
etc.  I guess this HOWTO assumes you're running YDL unmodified...

tun driver working properly as of yet, I think I forgot
an option in the kernel that it needed.  Wish I had a
list of actual requirements.
