   Well, as long as one or both sides (been a while since I read up on
ppp; I got it running under Linux without any problems and haven't
bothered doing much more reading on it) support peer to peer or one
can be set as a IP-providing host, it should be doable. Given that
Win95 likes to keep as many details from you as possible, I'm not sure
what its functionality is, and the GS might be the more configurable
one. :)
