Windows95 has a known problem talking to BSDI, since FreeBSD is similar it might be the same. At any rate, the same fix lets Win95 users dial into the FreeBSD server here. Disable VJ compression in Win95 and it should successfully connect, if you don't you'll get a message something like "No compatible protocol"..I don't remember exactly now, it's been a while since I messed with Win95, the 95 test machine here is now a FreeBSD one. :-) If that doesn't do it, let me know, I have some notes around here somewhere on getting it to work. It's Win95 with the bug, not BSD, by the way... James Robertson
