I've tried that this morning to no avail.  Here is what I have...

/etc/ppp/options

DNS pointing to ISP (I can web serf while dialed in so I believe this works)
WINS pointing to the Linux IP (also the dial up adaptor on the laptop is set to WINS to Linux IP
*****In options.ttyS2
remote IP = free IP address 209.xx.xx.xxx
local IP = Linux box

Mgetty works since I can dial in and it shows the proper handshake in the ppp.log
Linux Server is providing the laptop IP address so the TCPIP properties are:
No IP address assigned
WINS server to the Linux
Gateway to the router
DNS to the ISP

If only I could get the laptop to "see" both the debian system and the smbmounted PC than I would be homefree.
Any other suggestions would be a godsend.
