routing is for "real" IPs only.
What you need is IP Masquerading (aka NAT network address translation)
eg. modem dials, gets a real IP, and the linux box masquerades the internal
IPs, so that they can also use the net. (even with "fake" internal IPs)

Should work.
I have gotten a 486 from the dump to play with, and it has no problems to talk
to a linux samba server ... so win95 should work as well.
You need M$ TCP for the win 3.x machine anyways.

If you do not intend to use novell netware than no :)

PS: Those using ramdisks ... have you tried to use JAM on them ??
This is a really cute disk compression program taking up 24k of ram, but it can
compress the ramdrive tightly ... maybe somebody wants to take a closer look.
(JAM is available on simtel.net as jam125sw.zip IMHO)
