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.
