Thanks.  I got DSL working by abandoning Mandrake tools (except HardDrake to determine which of my NICs was assigned to eth0, and which to eth1) and using Roaring Penguin's adsl-setup script.

Next, I need to work on getting Samba working again (using my old smb.config did not work), and then complete IP forwarding.

I assume the script/commands you suggest are for the DSL connection?
