If you wanted to have your computers on the same network (no routing) that
would work great.  However, if you wish to route, put two NICS or a dual
port NIC in the Linux box, give the outside card your real IP address, add
IP Forwarding, IP Masq, IP (other stuff) to the kernel.  The easiest way to
connect the 95 box is to set up a class c reserved netowork (fake IP
192.168.0.0) on the 95 side and use your Linux box as a router.  Windoze 95
WILL NOT ROUTE under any circunstances.
