Dear hackers, I know this is strictly a Win95 issue, but I believe someone
had already tried it and be willing to help.  

I was able to establish a null modem connection between a Win95 PC and my
FreeBSD 2.1.5 server.  All problems had been ironed out with these.

But I still cannot make my Win95 machine connect to the Internet.  I mean,
the dial-up program just won't recognize Slirp (and it's not Slirp's
problem). I tried everything possible. I even added a direct connection
null modem device using an .inf file from Well's site
(http://www.vt.edu:10021/K/kewells/net/index.html).  When I commanded the
DUN tools to connect, I saw the login screen, I entered the user name and
password and everything (including slirp), but the damn DUN scrren stayed
as if the connection was not established. 

It could be an adventure but I just ran out my patience.  Can anyone help?
