Win95 to Linux PPP

If you get dial-up scripting from the Plus cd-rom, you can automate the 
procedure. The scripting has the capability to grab the login name and 
password from the connect screen. I initially used the scripting to connect to 
my provider when I first went to win95. I have since removed the scripting 
because it was unnecessary in my case.
