  • Win98SE Networking

    From Fae Empress@21:3/252 to All on Tue Sep 1 20:27:30 2026
    I just installed Win98SE on an old laptop, and of course,
    no networking except under DOS with a packet driver setup. So I'm writing
    this msg from telnet under MTCP. I'll continue my driver search...

    We're so spoiled these days with modern Windows.
