Hello Tim
Did you ever get your network challange worked out ?
(I tried to email you but my server can't find "pailhorse.com")
Of course, the reason I ask is that I am in the same boat...
Here is a copy of a recent post and response...

Been there, done that :)
Your answer is ARP! You'll need to find the ethernet mac address of the
Win95 box, and add a public arp route to your linux box arp table.
(i.e. - arp -s win95 <win95.mac.address> pub
Also, make sure that you've got your ethernet talking at a different IP
address to that of your ppp link.
i.e. configure linux for 192.168.0.1, win95 for 192.168.0.2 and add a
route for 192.168.0.0 (ethernet). This will definitely allow you to see
your win95 from linux and vice-versa. Once you've done this, once your
ppp (MUST BE PPP) link is up, and a default-gateway is established, you
should be able to get around it.
Otherwise, if you just want to use WWW - Grab yaself a copy of the Cern
HTTP or Squid proxy server - use it on your internal network, and parent
it to your ISP's WWW proxy...

If this helps you, great !
I don't if this is correct or how to implement the 'arp' command... So I'm
still seeking assistance....
Please let me know how you solved your networking problem...
Thanks in advance !
