Yeah, you would need a PPP packet driver. Of course, I believe this
is completely incompatible in Win95. You'd need to reboot to DOS to
and establish a PPP connection with a DOS PPP packet driver there.

If you want a DOS PPP packet driver, there is full instructions on
how to set it up anywhere where you can download KALI.

Try ftp://ftp.axxis.com/pub/kali/kalippp.zip

(I think the kali version for DOS uses WATTCP..... Just follow
all the instructions except for actually running KALI.... :)


As for using the Win95 TCP stack, thats tricky. The only software
I've seen that uses DJGPP to do that is Quake. So, it is in fact,
possible to do this, however, I've looked long and hard for the
information on how to do this and have come up with nothing.
