Not sure if the private network RFC 1597 IP's 192.168.x.x are
concidered legal. I've set up my private network using this series
of IP's. The Win95 machine can telnet into the BSD box just fine and
then out. I want to be able to have my office use the Windoze
programs to shield them from a real OS. ;-)
