not automaticlly. you need the linux to know it's default route in the
ppp line. also that it needs to route between interfaces (ppp and
LAN). even after you do all that you have pne ananswered problem: to
access the world, the machine(s) on the LAN need an IP address, and the
only one given to you by the ISP is used by the Linux box. there are 3-4
different ways to solve that (Masquarading, Proxy, SOCKS, port
redirectors), it's all in the HOWTOs.
if you promiss to read some about IPCHAINS and a masquarading howto or
two, I'll give you the script I use, which makes my machine both a
masquarader and a firewall.
