  Is there even a starmode driver for Windows?  I'm using plain-old Dial Up
  on my Win95 laptop.  

No.
  
  If you want to try and hack something I'll volunteer to test it.  I wonder
  if i[ij][ij]ppp would be a good place to start; tun0 seems like a good
  target interface.

Yes, iijppp is a good place to test it out.  Unfortunately I have
neither the time nor the spare group of modems to actually write
and debug it.  I was asking more for curiosity sake.  It's too bad
Metricom doesn't offer IP over STAR mode as a service, that would
immediately make it interesting.
