With the ISDN setup, everthing works 100% either way. With the DSL, I have the two nagging problems.... All machines can ping each other just fine. With the BSDs, the /etc/hosts define the addresses as static for each machine on the LAN. The BSDs' find the gateway machine fine and is identified as 192.168.0.1 and /etc/resolv.conf sees it as the nameserver too.
