Nope. New machines can be had for next to nothing these days, ditch the 98
box.

It is good to continue using Windows 98 especially if you use VPN since if
your workplace server is hacked then the hacker can break into your home
computer but not with Windows 98 Second Edition. All the advanced hacker
will be able to do is cause a denial of service error or possibly freeze your
machine and there will be no access. If you don't believe me check out the
security and safety of 98 Second Edition on secunia.com and compare 98 Second
Edition to Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. The
external security of NT business operating systems is great but there is no
internal safety according to Chris Quirke, mvp because XP and 2000 lack
maintenance operating systems like MS-DOS that is in 98 Second Edition. As
far as a wireless PCI adapter you could always Google it and check Ebay.

Check out the Belkin 54G PCI cards.
I have one and at one stage it was in a 98SE machine. My network is
WPA but as it was a triple boot PC (98, XP and Linux) I can't remember
if I got round to hooking the network to 98SE - which was only used to
play old games.
The quick install guide says it is OK for 98SE.
The same card is now setup for Ubuntu - and it actually connects with
WPA
Wow, Linux has come a long way, but not quite there yet.
Cheers

Sweet, me here, how do you like Ubuntu and how does it compare to Windows in
your opinion in terms of functionality because I know in terms of safety and
security that it is much better. I have used it for a while but do not
currently have it installed and am reading about it in a book now.

That is environmentally unfriendly.

Not necessarily. A Vax 8550 had a power consumption of about 3.5Kw, 64MB
of memory and roughly the computing power of a very old pentium.
Admittedly it didn't run Win98, but then there's always /some/ good news...

I'm talking about not only power consumption but disposal of a still
apparently useful older computer and the energy needed to manufacture
the new computer which will just become obsolete in 5 years anyway.|
If the person finds the old machine still meets their needs, may as well
keep it.

Of course there are or were WPA adapters for 98SE
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=98SE+WPA+adapter&btnG=Google+Search
Most required a supplicant to be installed, either by the manufacturer or
via third party support.
Franc, myself, and others have had discussions on the issue in this group
as:
Wireless access Windows 98SE
another:
Networking trouble with wireless adapter
another:
Wireless and Windows98se

Over some measurable period of time, the ownership cost will outweigh

Often I agree, however if the older machine takes 3.5kW and the new one
takes 100W, its not such an easy sum...

I'd do this by buying a wireless bridge, or even better a router that
supported bridge mode. No drivers required then.

Load up linux on it then. But then even ubuntu has minimum system
requirements.

Not if their needs include WPA, apparently.
