I don't know if you're familiar with Microsoft's Technet but one major
note concerning Lantastic 6.0 is that it is installed and fully
operation BEFORE Windows95 is installed on the same machine or Lantastic
will not be properly supported and will not function correctly.  There
is no option to add Lantastic under Windows95 after '95 has been
installed.
The notes continue on to inform the reader that Lantastic will not be
fully functional under Windows95 as it would be under regular DOS.
