There is a very informative miniHOWTO in /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/PLIP.gz which
contains a URL for a tarball that has all the example files you will
need to set up the link. The files rc.inet1_* need to be renamed and
placed in /etc/init.d/network, while all other example files are correct.
WRT the DOS packet drivers, are there versions that will work for '95?
