No one is going to be able to get to the win95 machine, no matter what, if you proxy connections as locally originating on the BSD machine (ie: you use a transparnet proxy service of any kind). No one is going to be able to get the BSD machine unless your provider establishes a static route for you on your PPP connection. This is something you will need to talk to your provider about doing automatically for PPP hosts. The route must be transient, by its nature, since a PPP connection is interruptible.
