I have got this running on my LAN, and it works great.  The Linux server
manages the PPP connection and acts as a firewall.  I also have a Samba
partition on which all of my main application programs reside.  When I need
to reinstall W93 ( I mean W95), I run all the applications over the net to
the box.  It also makes it alot easier to keep all my users at the same
revision level.  When I download one update to the Samba drive, I can then
move it to all the PC's very quickly.
