(PM) win95 PPP via RS232 cable into PM2 ?

Excuse the interruption into the discussion about Boredwatch's testing
methods and ethical standards (as a CS/Math person who was doing more
complicated things than counting connect rates for years, I have to
rate Boredwatch's methods as "good for propaganda" only), I am seeking
a solution to a real problem here:

I wish to hook up a win95 box into a PM2's serial port and run PPP to it.
The connection works correctly from a hardware point of view (e.g.: I
can use it via Hyperterm just fine), but it seems that the missing part
is a modem.inf file for a direct-cable connection. Read: a modem driver
that never dials, complains about the "modem" (here: cable) not returning
OK's in response to AT commands, not being queryable via ATI<n> , etc.

I have searched M$'s website for about 6 hours now. Has anyone got a
solution for this ? (don't recommend me to buy an ethernet card, the
motherboard in my damn laptop is busted so that PCMCIA cards dont work :( )

Some Livingston user must have had this problem before...

Thanks for any pointers (please Cc: via mail as well as to the list) to
such a modem.inf file...

Thanks,
bye,Kai
