Another Increasing Function

Maybe you remember that back in January, 2003, I offered you an increasing function that met two criteria (click the problem archives to see it). This month, I will challenge you with another increasing function that meets two criteria...

Let f map positive integers to positive integers with the conditions:

i) f(n+1) > f(n)
ii) f(f(n)) = 3n

Find f(955).
