=outside can attach to just fine through my ISDN line.  Below is a netstat.
=206.147.211.1 is the Ascend Pipeline to the ISDN.  61 and 62 are are the 
=FreeBSD boxes and 63 is the NT.  So why wouldn't the ppp connection on 
=59 be able to ping 63?

Try traceroute-ing to and from the NT machine (it is called
tracert.exe on NT) and see where the route is lost.

BTW, what's NT for? One can argue, it is good for `dummies' as a
workstation (I disagree, though), but _server_?? What is it doing,
that your FreeBSD boxes can not do?
