Samba is the Windows Networking server package.  It would act like a WIn95
box doing file sharing or an OS/2 Lan Server.  

You cannot connect your Win95 box to your FreeBSD box using parallel.
They use completely different protocols.  Instead, buy a couple of cheap
Ethernet cards and string a cable between them.  (If you get 10BaseT/TP
units, you need a special crossover cable with pairs 1-2 and 3-6
reversed.)
