Establishing a PPP connection between a Windows 9x machine and NT or 2000
You can find detailed instructions on how to do the Windows 95, 98, and ME
part of this on the following web page:
http://support.triscend.com/triscendknowbase/root/public/90.htm
Follow the links at the bottom of the page for information on using the driver.
A link to the driver itself can be found on the following page:

You can also try out "The Direct Connection" web site. Many have posted
positive results in the newsgroups when using their drivers:

Null modem serial cable information can be found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q108/2/96.asp
As for Windows 2000, I believe there is a null modem type of modem already
included. My understanding is that you need only install that modem and
tell RAS to use it.
But then again, this is all very theoretical as I have never personally
done any of this myself. Try it out and let us all know how it works out.
Good luck!
