I'm using a USB modem to connect a network to my DSL line. Your going to need to put a network card in each PC and then build yourself a two computer network using either a switch/hub or a direct cable connection. Then you need to get some sort of internet connection sharing software running on your Win98 PC. I'm using a program called Sygate although there are many others out there. I believe Win98SE has built-in internet connection sharing software. I may be wrong on that. I don't have a Win98 install anymore to check that and if it does have it, it may not handle sharing a usb modem connection. It sounds like a complex project but it is really pretty easy once you get your home network built.
