Jon,
physically they _are_ two different networks, and in the original theory
would have different network numbers, but in this case its easier to fake
it and pretend they are one. Linux and proxyarp allow this. To other
machines on your network, both the Linux-dialup and win98 machines have
the same ethernet address.
  I hope that clarifies it a little. (And is right?)
