I use a linux server (486-33Mhz/8MB) as a firewall connection.
I don't have modems in my WIN95 computers and when I want to connect,
I open a telnet application to my Linux server and tell it to run it's PPPD
demon.  The server dials up according the scripts and after the connection
is established, I can each and every one of my win95 systems, all together
to accesses the internet.

In spite of this, I am looking for an easier way, maybe a WIN95 demon
that is able to activate a script of it's own to connect to the net, or
even better, a way to auto_run this script whenever there is a demon
for a TCP connection (auto winsock type ?)

Plus, I am looking for a WIN95 utility that is able
to monitor the connection (TX,RX),  speed and load (through the TCP/IP).

All the best,

Jack.
