If you'll excuse the question, Isn't this a bit backwards?
why on EARTH would one route a Unix box through a Win95 box?
Kind of like towing the winabago behind the VW..

BSD can do every kind of networking trick in the book plus a few, but I'm
not sure I'd trust win95 to stay up for an entire session if someone was
using it..

I'm sure you have a reason but my curiosity is killing me.

The file you want BTW is /etc/rc.conf
