NT can route IP.  There is a command line IPROUTE command that may be
needed to set it up.  

You will probably need one IP for your NT system, and one for each
local system.  You might actually need 2 for the NT system, one for
the ISDN port, and one for the ethernet port.  To the rest of your
lan, the NT server is the 'default gateway'.  You will need to setup
the routing table to handle this.  

You would need a static block of IP's allocated from the other end...
Most folks will give you a 8 IP block for up to 6 clients (including
the NT server), or 16 for up to 14 clients.  Many commericial
providers charge somewhat more for this.  I'm call into a firewalled
private IP net, they gave me a private class C (254 systems) for home!


With a block of 8 IP's, your subnet mask looks like 255.255.255.248
(or 0xFF.FF.FF.F8).  I am NOT a routing guru.  It baffles me.

There is very little NT documentation on how to set this up. But the
IPROUTE command is based on the unix implementation...
