o There's less configuration involved.
o ipnat is tied to a specific interface - you've got to be careful to 
  make sure it's the same as the ppp(8) chosen interface.
o libalias has better capabilities (icmps work, active ftp, smedia, 
  irc, netbios).
o If anyone has problems (and isn't sure if it's ppp or NAT related), I 
  may be able to help with libalias, but won't with ipnat :-)
