You should not have any problems coping over your files to your Linux
(ext2) partition.
To mount your win95 partition type:
 mount -t vfat /dev/whatever /moutn-point

Where whatever is the partition(drive), and mount-point is were you
want it mounted to.
For example on my system I have 
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win95

As far as the getting the modem to work, I am also eagerly awaiting a
reply. I have not been able to get dialed in to the U-of-M yet. I have
tried with gnome-ppp. It connects, but can not get it to authenticate.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
