For awhile, we had a Netopia ISDN router, which I used to access our local
network from home.  The Netopia was just one more box on our internal
LAN (i.e., inside the firewall).  I dialed into it from home, and
accessed the HP 3000 easily.  From the 3000's viewpoint, I may as well
have been a local PC.  From a networking viewpoint, the Netopia took
everything from the ISDN line and forwarded it to the local LAN.  It
took anything from the local line that was destined for my home PC's
IP address and forwarded it over the ISDN line.

From the PC's viewpoint, it didn't really know I had an ISDN line.  It
just thought it was a fast modem (i.e., standard Win95 dialup networking
worked fine).

BTW, want to buy a used Netopia?  PacBell raised their ISDN rates, and
the company moved closer to me ... so we aren't using ISDN in this
manner now.
