Back again after poking around....

I can now ping (both ways)/ftp/telnet (and no more ppp/tun0 problems) with 
the following setup:

FBSD3.3R < x-over cable > win95 < 33.6 dial-up > ISP

Folks on this list have advised me that win95 cannot "route". I discovered 
the following on my win95 box:

ROUTE [-f] [command destination] [MASK netmask] [gateway] [METRIC metric]
    -f  Clears the routing tables of all gateway entries. If this is used 
        in conjuction with one of the commands, the tables are cleared 
        prior to running the command.
    
    command     Must be one of four:
                    PRINT prints a route
                    ADD   adds a route
                    DELETE deletes a route
                    CHANGE modifies an existing route    
    destination     Specifies the destination host
    MASK            Specifies that the next parameter is the 'netmask' 
                    value.
    netmask         Specifies the subnet mask value to be associated with  
                    this entry. If not specified, it defaults to
                    255.255.255.255
    gateway         Specifies the gateway.
    METRIC          Specifies that the next parameter 'metric' is the cost
                    for this destination.
All symbolic names used for destination are looked up in the network 
database file NETWORKS. The symbolic names for gateway are looked up in 
the host name database file HOSTS.

So.....the output on my win95 box is:

C:\>route print

Active Routes:

Network Address      Netmask     Gateway Address     Interface    Metric
0.0.0.0           0.0.0.0           10.0.0.1         10.0.0.2        1
10.0.0.0          255.255.255.0     10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2        1
10.0.0.2          255.255.255.255   127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1       1
10.255.255.255    255.255.255.255   10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2        1
127.0.0.0         255.0.0.0         127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1       1
224.0.0.0         224.0.0.0         10.0.0.2         10.0.0.2        1
255.255.255.255   255.255.255.255   10.0.0.2         0.0.0.0         1

Can I infer from all the above that I can in fact coerse win95 to route 
for my LAN - such as it is? If so, do I need to do anything extra on the 
FBSD end? Tia...
