try to explain as best as I can what I have done so far.

NT's IP is about 5 years behind the times.

You are going about this the wrong way. Is it possible for you to put
the ISDN onto FreeBSD? Is it a modem-like TA? If you can do this, then
do so (read the docs on ppp, see /etc/ppp/*) Then you can put NAT onto
FreeBSD. You can't run NAT on FreeBSD if your legal IP address is on
the NT box. You can't use the same IP address on both the NT and FreeBSD
boxes.
What you need is
ISP------FreeBSD----HUB---{Win95+Win95}
FreeBSD should be 205.139.43.211 on ppp0 or tun0 (according to which ppp
you use) and 192.168.0.1 on ethernet.
