SheeeZammm... Put L/M 9.1 on it, using a zoom external modem, I be talking to you on it now. Linux must have some better code than windows. I tried both 98se and Winme on this thing and had all those errors. Trying to decide wheather to use the Mandrake update, or leave well enough alone. All the lady wants to do is get her email and use internet. Mandrake should allow this just fine.
