Jason, this sort of question is more appropriate for the freebsd-questions
mailing list, so I've directed replies there.
To connect your FreeBSD and Win95 machines, you'll need either a "cross
over" cable, or a hub and a second cat5 cable. My recommendation would
be to purchase an inexpensive 4- or 5-port hub and another cable; hubs
are really quite inexpensive these days. Plug both of your network
cards into the hub et voila: network (as opposed to NOTwork).
