Perhaps you should look at using masq dialer, and have your W95 client
users manually dial in and log off the ISP. It can be set up so that if two
or more users are both using the connection, no user can hang up. A user
can break his connection to the masq dialer, and the last user on the
connection can then hang up. That's the setup I have here, and if I had
PPTP over IP masq working, I'd be using it a lot more.
