I have never used it but Win95 has this built in.  
Select the following to install the driver.

Start Menu-Setup-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs-Windows Setup-
Communications-Direct Cable Connection.

Is that not what you want?

As a discouraging side note, this is a quote from section 9 of the new
PLIP mini-HOWTO.

http://www.cli.di.unipi.it/~controzz/PLIP-Mini-HOWTO.txt.gz

"No, so far nobody reported me a successful link between Linux
 and Windows 95. if somebody succeds in setting up this link, 
 please let me know immediately: thousand of PLIP users await 
 these news!"

Good luck

| John,

| and sends packets from the parallel port to WINSOCK.DLL.

| I am in the process of setting it up on my Win95 box, but have not completed

| Good luck!
