If you mean _literally_ a modem/ethernet card combo (where the dsl modem
circuitry and the ethernet card circuitry are in one package that resides
_inside_ your computer, then you are probably SOL if you are running Windows
98 or Me.
Doing TCP/IP networking is next-to-impossible on 98 under the best of
circumstances, but modem "sharing" _REQUIRES_ an external dsl modem
connected to a router (not a hub).
The equipment they gave you (unless I am misunderstanding you) will not
allow multiple computers to share a dsl line under 98 or Me.
Sorry.
