If you try www.pcpitstop.com they have a program to check your computer
operation including your Internet connection and make recommendations to
tweak/optimize your system. This procedure is free though they do have
recommended programs for sale.
Your Win 98 could be tweaked for dial up while your Win 2000 is not.
I hope this helps.
