I don't know exactly about dial-up with a modem conections, but I have conected the abomination with my linux box through a serial cable making it think it was a modem via dial-up, and it does use standard, yes I am saying standard PPP, I made de conexion with pppd on the linux side, and it worked. Also without samba I could use all linux services from W95 (ftp, telnet, ping... well I didn't try anything else). Using samba I could share printers and files with W95. I am sending my specific options file for that conection. I would say it uses PAP, I mean, my Internet Server uses PAP and before linux I used W95 to conect via dial-up. There is something else, I had to use "+ua" insted of "user" option with pppd to make linux conect to my Internet Server, maybe you have the same problem.
As far as I know, and I am no expert, you should be able to telnet and ftp and all with no samba. Hoping to be helpful [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS:If you need to do some testing this W95 as a linux Client, tell me; I will do the testing and send you the logs or whatever.
