Yes, but such an old computer, or a modern computer but with Windows 95 on it, should not go near the internet highway. Picture this:

• Everyone on the highway drives cars with 4 wheels.
• Then you come along, trying to drive on the highway with 3 wheels.

The result is that you can technically drive it on the highway, but at a speed so greatly reduced that safety regulations become in order.

 

The same applies with your Windows 95 computer/or modern PC but with Windows 95 installed.

A provider, i reckon?

You can, but you cannot use current map editors like Doom Builder X or Ultimate Doom Builder.

 

An editor compatible with Windows95 is required. One of these *might* be WinDEU. Another might be DoomCAD.

For the sake of your own sanity.. I suggest using a modern computer to get online, and do your map editing in a modern doom editor.

Then just transfer your files to your win95 box for testing.

For doom95 editing, you can look at Deepsea (or some old variant of it), & WinDEU, & Wintex.  The very first version of doom builder, and slumped may or may not work, (same with xwe).

You're crazy. I salute you.

 

Do miss that startup sound Brian Eno did though.
