Then I assume all of the computers are on the same *ethernet* network,
and the BSD box connects to the outside world using PPP?

Don't know what WINPKT is -- tcp/ip stack?  Win95 comes with a tcp/ip
stack.  I use the network setup to enter the DNS server and gateway as
the BSD box.  I give the Win95 box a ip number for my network.  It works
very well.  I also use Samba for a file and print server.
