Can't access the Win95 to my knowledge
but the second part has been super easy for me.

If the modem is internal all you do is goto Control Panel
(under superuser account) click on modem (which
creates a symbolic link from /dev/modem to cua0 (or (cua1,2,3)
and then run Network Configuration and enter the
host names for your ISP under Names ... AND
under Interfaces you add a PPP interface with the
phone number (*70, = before the actual phone num to disable
call waiting) and enter your username and password).
Then click SAVE and highlight the interface and select
ACTIVATE.

BTWay, this dialup interface will not work with Windows NT RAS
servers.
