Yup, it's bad routing.  When you dial in, the ppp client changes/adds a
default route for the other end.  Perhaps that default route is not
getting added.  Also check DNS -- the system does a reverse lookup on the
connecting hostname, and if name lookups from teh FreeBSD box take a long
time, the DNS server may be set wrong or tere is an error in the PTR entry
on the Win95 box.
