How would I go about seting up FreeBSD and Win95 to interact over
network cards.  I read Samba is a program I would install to setup
NetBEUI communications with FBSD and Win95.  How would I go about
configuring this.  I would most lickely connect PPP to my ISP and run
/stand/sysinstall and download via FTP.  It would ask me some
questions.  But I am NOT familiar with FreeBSD too much.

Anyways I would appreciate any pointers for setting up the machines.
The two machines have both NE2000 compatibles.  One machine Dual
booting FreeBSD and Windows95 and the other Dual booting WindowsNT3.51
and Windows95.  I would like to achieve possibly a login server or a
file server with FreeBSD and Windows95.

thanks in advance
Steph
