Perhaps my definition isn't what's accepted.

Ah, yeah, the ISDN router is on net 15 so you're correct. >>I was thinking of needing a setup like this: >> >>[isdn] >> |___10bT___[hub] ("wire 0") >> |___10b2___[FreeBSD ethernet card 1] (net 15--ed1--"wire 1") >> [FreeBSD ethernet card 2] (net 10--ed2--"wire 2") >> |___10b2___[Mac]___10b2___[NeXT]___10b2___[NeXT] > > I do not really understand this picture.

What I was thinking about was connecting net 15 machines (and multi-homed Macs) on 1 wire. The net 10 NeXTs will go on another wire (ed2). Not really sure about my Macs since they live on both networks using 1 wire.
