Win98 is not really secure and unless there is a "Mission" critical
application
that has not been upgraded by the vendor, I would only allow 1 System
And then that PC only be used for that app and then turned off.

Plus with win 98 the systems are over 10 years old and the time waiting for
the PC
to actually Function, support ect.
And I assume you are running some sort of AV on it.
It's best to upgrade at this time, if budget is a concern
look into Dell Optiplex referbs

This being said (If it did work)
You'd need to install DSCLEINT on the PC

However, I still from a support a security aspect
would NOT Support Win98 unless a BUSINESS CRITICAL app is on it.
