  You can use the command 'dip' to do the same in Linux, it allow you to
write a script to do login for you as in Win95...

 The first step on your path to enlightenment should be to remove
windows 95 from your system. fdisk under linux will accomplish this
nicely.

 Hope this helps,

Since everyone else is being less than helpful, here are some pointers.

1. Read the networking FAQ. I found out from there. This will come with
   any good installation of Linux.

2. It will basically tell you to 
    a. configure /etc/hosts     with information like DNS servers and
                                stuff
    b. use dip to start networking. This is pretty simple, you just
       create a script (the ones that come with it are good for
       copying and modifying). 
       when you've done this (and it all depends on how your ISP sets
       things up) try
            dip foo.dip

3. Before you panic, make sure that SLIP and/or PPP networking options 
   are compiled into your kernel. It's been a while since I looked at
   distributions so I'm not sure if they ship that way any more.

4. Read the networking FAQ. 

5. SLIP with Linux I've managed to do reasonably easily. SLIP with Win95
   still eludes me. Maybe one day I'll spend the hours required to do
   it.

What have you tried to do exactly?  What kind of connection?
You can use DIP and change one of the scripts included as an example to fit
your needs!

How would this help?  Be realistic!  I have win95 and Linux on the same
system!  He asked a question, and if you can not answer you do not have to
post anything!

I'll suggest you to read the network-HOWTO before doing anything. That
will give you a better unstanding of what you are doing and will be doing.

Linux is so different from Win95. Don't expect anything like a 'wizard'
to help you doing the setup. Be prepare to read tons of document and
don't hestitate to ask.

BTW, you're wise to use Linux!

True. However, prior to do this, you'll need to setup your networking
stuff , otherwise 'dip' will return 'unknown server error' .

Grab the PPP-HOWTO from:

ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/howto/PPP-HOWTO.txt.gz

and follow its instructions.

(snip to fit.)
The easy way would be to check out the isp-hookup HOWTO. You will
need to spend a little bit time reading. The good part is once
Linux is configured for dial-up tcp/ip it's a lot faster then any
windoze I've seen..
