I use my RH9 box to share my NTL broadband connection, which (AFAIK) is the
same technology as Blueyonder.

Just set it up to pick an IP up thru DHCP and then use IPChains (as your old
system is unlikely to have iptables, i think) to set up masquerading & NAT.

I've written a small guide which relates to IPTables if you want me to post
a link?
