Well, the ed1 thing I believe has been fixed in 2.2.6. I know it's finxed in -current. I'm not really sure of the details, but I think I can help. If this is a simple two-node network, then just use thinnet or a hub and TP. Connect the two machines making sure you use the same subnet. A good choice of addressing would be 192.168/16. That is, you can make the fbsd box 192.168.1.1, and the Win95 box 192.168.1.2. Then make your subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Don't run routed or make a default route on the fbsd box. For NFS mounting, you can use Sun's PCNFS (commercial for 95), or a better solution would be to use Samba on FreeBSD. This would let you mount the FreeBSD drive on the Win95 box, and, if you used rumba on FreeBSD, you could mount the Win95 harddrive. Both rumba and samba are in the ports (http://www.freebsd.org/ports/). If you use PPP, you can set the fbsd box up as a gateway so both the Win95 and fbsd boxes can be online at the same time by setting gateway_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf. Then, if using user-ppp, add the -alias flag in order to do IP aliasing. I wrote a paper that details a setup like that, and you can get pdf and ps formats at http://jaguar.ir.miami.edu/~marcus. Hope that helped.
