They can use Win98 with SBC/Yahoo DSL, I'm doing it right now. You do need
an XP machine to install the software on and set up the account, email
addresses etc. After that you can uninstall all the SBC/Yahoo software.
Try changing primary network logon is Windows Logon to Client for Microsoft
Networks.
