There is routing software that runs on windows 95. And you are
going to need that if you want to forward data through the windows
box. But it is pretty unlikely that any routing software will work
given that your "ISP insists in having users run his proprietary
win95-only software." Most of this stuff depends on things following the
normal conventions.
If I were you I'd be looking for a different ISP.
