At work I administer an ethernet network of several dozen Win95 desktops
and a couple of Linux boxen running samba.
I'm trying to set up incoming PPP on an up-to-date Debian slink box. The
goal is for an employee to be able to dialup this box from her Win95
machine at home and be a "full citizen"
At the lilo prompt, try

YMMV.
