You should have been able to get this system working.  I have a similar 
setup on a p120/64mb.  Well at least I used to, now I have DSL.  I would 
download a 2.4 kernel.  You will probably need to recompile the kernel to 
get all the options for ip forwarding and masquerading.  Once you do that, 
just apt-get install ipmasq and it will work.  ipmasq does all the work for 
you as long as you have a properly configured kernel.
