Chiptech just follow Handyman's advice and dont bother with usb it'll drive you mad and even installing a NIC card on 98 is pure vanila (99% of the time) also sorry for sounding a bit nasty earlier on with my post bout the link to the new computer, my person and work experience with 98se is like this...its stable and works most of the time but last time I connected my NTL modem via USB I had nothing more then the Blue's of Death continually so I would for sure say if you got an Ethernet Nic on your pc use that instead. also been trying to look for my drivers for the NTL 250 but cant find them. sorry bout that

I've got a couple of W98SE boxes sitting next to me, Handyman, they both have ethernet cards in that were no problem whatsoever to install. You do have to install drivers for some ethernet cards in W98SE as it doesn't have the inbuilt drivers that later OSs do but, unlike USB, they're never a problem.

And I agree 100% with everyone else here except the OP that ethernet is completely superior to USB for an internet connection.
