I've used a similar package under SCO openserver.  ALMOST everything worked.
Networking, especially dialup failed.   Once that failed it was unreliable, not
that win95 is reliable anyway.   The SCO package could not boot an existing
win95 partition, everything had to be installed on a SCO partition.   How does
this package access win95, etc?
