(ASCEND) Ascend Pipeline(s) and telecommuting



I'm trying to configure the most usable/flexible telecommuting setup with
the
following topology and hardware :

Office : 10-15 node LAN with NT 4.0 and Win95 machines, ISDN gateway to
Internet through Pipeline 25FX router and ISP (this is all working fine).
Also have new ISDN line and Pipeline 25 w/o routing option.

Home : Dual boot Win95/NT 4 machine.  New ISDN line and Pipeline 75 with
routing.

I have successfully set up bridging with the new hardware so that my home
machine appears on the office LAN and I can access shared resources.  This
configuration, however does not provide Internet access at home.

Is it possible for me to use the office ISDN gateway to the Internet when
connected in this way?  I have almost convinced myself that this will not
work
because the new Pipeline at office is bridging only.

I am also trying to set up another connection in my home Pipeline 75 to
access the Internet through an ISP.  I realize that it is not possible to
have both connections open at the same time (I am either on the Internet or
the office LAN, or am I wrong here?).  However, with the new IP addresses
provided by my ISP, I amtotally lost trying to configure this without losing
my
office connection.

Is it possible to have both the bridging connection to the office and a
routing connection to the Internet setup on my Pipeline and PC (and
seamlessly switch between them)?  If so, any assistance in configuring this
would be GREATLY appreciated!


Thank you
