Hi Aaron, You need the program 'rawrite', it can be found in the /tools
directory right off of the /debian dir on your mirror.
This tool will write the file from win95 to disk so you can intall them.
If you can get ppp working from that, then you can install the rest of
your system via ftp directly, if not, you can always save the .deb
packages to win95 and mount that partition in linux and install from
there.  
Good luck
go over the intall docs it mentions all of this in better detail
