Hello World!

I've got PPP running on a pair of SPARCstations, but  I can't seem 
to get them to route.   Here's basically what things look like:
(Greatly simplified.)

Local Site    Remote Site 
+----+        +----+
|  A |--------|  D |
+----+  PPP   +----+
   |            |
   |   <.   .>  |
   |     \ /    |
+----+    Y   +----+
|  B |    |   |  E |
+----+    |   +----+
   |      |
   |  <- Ethernet
   |
+----+
|  C |
+----+

That's machines A, B, and C at the local site connected via ethernet and
machines D and E at the remote site connected to each other via ethernet
with PPP running between machines A and D over a dial-up line which I 
bring up after the machines are finished booting.

Machines A and D are communicating with each other, but E can't ping A,
B can't ping D, etc.  I've tried a myriad of things, none of which worked.
Can anybody tell me what I _should_ be doing?  Surely someone has this
working successfully out in Usenet land.  Let me know what works, please!
