>Is it possible to logon to a Winnt or Win95 machine from a win95 dos mode through a 10Base-T network?

You need some files from Win3.11, and some manual adjustments to it if you use Dos 6.x or just Dos 7.x; if there's a complete w95 installed and you boot into Dos 7, it's also feasible. Just have "Net start workstation" in your autoexec.bat. There may be some other things to set up, but once you get it to work, it keeps working for itself. You may have to issue "net use Q: \\server\sharename" and "Net use lpt1 \\server\printername" to restore your mappings (just in case). You can't be a server if you run from Dos7.

I use that for mixed environments, where they have one or two W95 machines and haven't upgraded the old 386es yet, and they demand them all to do networking.
