Yep, FreeBSD has PPP support built in. If you go to
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html, the section entitled
'Setting up user PPP' has a step-by-step guide on how to set it up.

Unfortunately, FreeBSD and Win95 cannot read each other's partitions,
so there isn't any way to do this, apart from copying files onto a DOS
floppy. Or copying over a network.
