Mmmm, I guess it could be your chat script. You really need to read up
on how to get logs for these things, like 'chat -V', debug option for
pppd, etc.
What are you using to listen to the port on the Linux server? mgetty?
There's logging available for that too. (Also, you might want to try
the AutoPPP option of mgetty, if that's what you're using. If you get
that set up right, you won't even need a script from Win95).
Without more info, we're flying blind.

Doesn't sound like anything to do with IP forwarding to me.
