Thanks for the hints. Will do.

Acutally, I was wrong about that, only a few extra sites started working
but not a whole lot more. However, I did manage to get netstat -r to
show 1500MTU sizes for my ppp0, how? I added "-mru" to
/etc/ppp/options. What I'm guessing was happening was that when pppd
was trying to negotiate MTU size, my ISP was forcing it to 1006. If I
add in -mru, it will not negotiate and mtu/mru settings and keep it at
1500. It seems to work, as the majority of sites I try work, a handful
still do not and as I still access them from the Linux box, just not the
masq'ed machines.
I read up on the spd_vhi option for setserial, thanks for the hints
there. So for the most part, I think adding the -mru has fixed the
problem. I've dropped ifconfig method.
I will keep you guys posted if I find out anything new.
