Assuming you can access normal Web pages on the server, this probably means
one or more of the following problems occurred (all based on a URL of the
form http://www.somethingorother.com/~someuser/):
1. The userid "somsuser" doesn't appear in /etc/passwd . Apache won't look
for the directory /home/someuser/public_html in response to this URL; it
will look in /etc/passwd for userid someuser, find the home directory for
that user, and try to open ./public_html inside that home directory.
2. The ./public_html file isn't world readable. Fix with "chmod 744
/somepath/public_html").
3. Apache doesn't use "public_html" as the name of the user Personal Home
Page (PHP) directory. This is a configuration option; check your config
files (on my system it's in srm.conf, but this can vary) for the option
UserDir .
4. If you created the base file in the PHP directory (its name is a config
option, but the common ones are index.html and welcome.html), you might have
forgotten to make it world-readable (as in 2 above).

I use and like NetTerm. This is shareware, though, not free -- but the $20
license fee is moderate enough to make it worth the cost for me.

It is SMB, if the Win98 filesystem is on a different host. On the same host,
you'd use the ability to mount "vfat" partitions (available only in newer
versions of Linux distributions).
