	First question: can I make an eth behave as a point-to-point if
there are only two eth cards in the network?

	Not working. I can access eth0 (.17) from the w95 machine but
I can not access any other part of the eth0 network.

	If I have understood correctly subnetting with the netmask of 240
divides the network into 16 subnets... as my primary net has a netmask of
255.255.255.0 then the machine addresses are 0.0.0.* which is incompatible
with puting a netmask of .240 on the eth1.

	Maybe arp -s fixs it, but as I have these things very fresh, I
don't know.

	I guess my best bet is to make the eht1 behave as p-t-p link. I've
seen an option for that in ifconfig, but I couldn't get it working. 

	Thanks for your help.
