Different operating systems, and different secure file systems,
will have different behaviour if you try this.
You have to have the secure file system set up and running
before the operating system needs to decide where its
swap space is for this to work. A related question for
Unix systems is whether you can swap across NFS.
Win95 is especially likely to be tricky because of
16-bit vs. 32-bit issues, unless you've got a 32-bit filesystem.
