Your real problem is that you must have a different network on each
of your interfaces. Try calling your win95 machine "patti.my.net"
and have patrick.interlog.com on tun0 and patrick.my.net on ed0.
You can actually get away with having only one patrick (you should
have a netmask of 0xffffffff on the tun0 side), but IMHO, this is
wrong.
Of course you'll need to run "ppp -alias" on the tun0 side. Refer
to http://www.awfulhak.org/ppp.html for doc details.
