A much simpler solution: Buy a copy of eXceed for windows - from eXcite, ( or vice versa ). It will give you as much X as you really want on your win95 machine. I know from personal experience that it handles direct LAN connectivity ( wfwg and win95 ) to unix boxes running samba, and I would try win95's dial-up-networking facility for my first shot at the async connection you have available.
