I tried this with win 95, it will not work, possibly because win 95 will not
act as a bridge between two different IPX networks (you are creating two 
networks, on that is over the phone line, and the other over your lan 
cards)  Actually I just had an idea, if you can make sure that the IPX numbers
are the same on both sides, it may work.  Somehting like NT Server 
(or workstation?) that was the computer that accepted the dialin AND was
hooked local to the network should allow the bridge between the two networks.
