thanks for reply george, but you kinda lost me in your answer.
you said that 98 & xp cannot share the modem, but then you go
on to say that if the correct drivers are installed within xp then it
can use the modem..........??????

here is my setup:::::
i have win98 & xp on dual-boot.
i have an external modem, its being used right now as I am
in win98 at the moment.
win98 must already have the correct drivers, so if its possible for xp
to use the modem, then could i just go and copy them from wherever
they are kept in 98?

anyhow, i'm still confused as to whether i can have xp on the internet or
not due to your opening answer........ could you clarify it a bit please.
