   Dear Rod,

   Setting the iptables rules starts with:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i ! ppp0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o ppp0 -j REJECT

   The rest of the rules exclusively affect the INPUT chain of the filter 
table.

   Yours,

     Chris
