Go to Start Settings Control Panel System. If the computer has
Windows 98 Second Edition, it will say so, near the top of the window,
under "System:".

I have a PC with 98 and I have purchased high speed internet service with
AT&T and their external modem; however, when I called in to tech support they
said that 98 does not support high speed internet so I would need to get a
newer operating system or a new PC. Can you advise if there is a way to make
98 work?


If the AT&T modem only has a USB output, it probably won't work with
Windows 98. If it has an Ethernet output, it should work with any
computer, including one running Windows 98, that has an Ethernet
adapter.

If your computer doesn't have an Ethernet adapter, see if it has an
available PCI slot for installing one.
