Microsoft has distributed many different versions of Windows 95, as well
as the Plus! package. Not all versions work alike for establishing
connections. In some instances, where the connection fails, Software
Compression will need to be disabled:
On the newly created ZOTnet icon, right-click and select
Properties. Press the Server Type
button and select PPP. Uncheck Enable Software
Compression.
If you have a version with PPP scripting, you may not need to have the
terminal window open at the start of each session. Consult the Win95 help
section in Accessories | Dial-Up Scripting
Tool, if present. Or, check
http://www.windows95.com/connect/dscript for more information.
Always shutdown and restart the system after making any changes to the
Network or Dial-Up Networking settings.
If your modem fails to connect, consult your modem manual for the right
settings.
