It's working just fine here. It (the Nortel Extranet client) installed without
complaint
on win98se. After the reboot, there appeared to be no IP connectivity, even though
winipcfg showed an appropriate DHCP acquired IP. Attempting to run the client also
returned an error about being unable to get a socket. Playing around a little, I
ended up
removing the "NOC Extranet Access Client Protocol" for "Merge NIC", and "TCP/IP" for
"Extranet Access Client Adapter". This made local connectivity come back
(connectivity
verified through IE). Then, I tried the Client, and it connected okay. It was a bit
flakey, but then I readded both tcp/ip and NOC EAC Protocol, and it started working
just fine.
During the install, I was at no time asked to provide the 98 cd, or decide between
files.
Cheers (and just a little giddy excitement)!
