I've got a laptop win95 box ppp'ing over a null modem line to my openbsd/sparc
called ensconce (because both my mac's serial ports are taken up)

I was able to find a modem .ini file from "somewhere on the net" (virginia tech)
that implemented a null modem driver... sorry can't help you much more than 
that.

The 'connect' script that windows runs, simply logs in as kylie (the user)
and runs this command:

pppd passive ensconce:lapdog lcp-echo-interval 5 lcp-echo-interval 10

ensconce's /etc/ppp/options contains:

asyncmap 0 netmask 255.255.255.248 proxyarp ms-dns occult debug lock

if all this fails, you could probably do better by getting rzsz or kermit.
