Dial-up netwroking is missing

My friend just bought a second-hand PC from the IT department at his
workplace. It has Windows 98 (not SE) and has always been used on a
network. I bought a 56k PCI modem and installed it OK, but dial-up
networking on the machine is missing. Going into add/remove programs and
clicking on the Windows Setup tab reveals nothing - it's completely blank,
so I cannot choose from the normal communications checkbox to install dial-
up networking. The dial-up networking icon is missing in My Computer.
Obviously, the IT department have deliberately removed these components. Is
there any way to replace them? Because the machine is second-hand, my
friend doesn't have a Windows 98 disk. I have a Windows 98SE CD, but
booting that and trying the Add Programs option doesn't work - perhaps I
could manually extract the files from the disk, but I'm not sure what I
should be looking for or how to install them onto the machine. I've
checked the knowledge base as best I can, but all of the support notes I've
read so far are based on the assumption that dial-up networking - or the
option to install/reinstall - are present. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Have you tried this?
