Any wireless PCI adapters that support WPA on Windows 98?
It is good to continue using Windows 98 especially if you use VPN since if
your workplace server is hacked then the hacker can break into your home computer but not with Windows 98 Second Edition. All the advanced hacker will be able to do is cause a denial of service error or possibly freeze your machine and there will be no access. If you don't believe me check out the security and safety of 98 Second Edition on secunia.com and compare 98 Second Edition to Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional. The external security of NT business operating systems is great but there is no internal safety according to Chris Quirke, mvp because XP and 2000 lack maintenance operating systems like MS-DOS that is in 98 Second Edition. As far as a wireless PCI adapter you could always Google it and check Ebay. " wrote: Does anyone know of any wireless PCI adapters that let you use WPA encryption on Windows 98? |

Sweet, me here, how do you like Ubuntu and how does it compare to Windows in
your opinion in terms of functionality because I know in terms of safety and security that it is much better. I have used it for a while but do not currently have it installed and am reading about it in a book now.

I have one and at one stage it was in a 98SE machine. My network is WPA but as it was a triple boot PC (98, XP and Linux) I can't remember if I got round to hooking the network to 98SE - which was only used to play old games. The quick install guide says it is OK for 98SE. The same card is now setup for Ubuntu - and it actually connects with WPA :-) Wow, Linux has come a long way, but not quite there yet. Cheers Rob |

A Vax 8550 had a power consumption of about 3.5Kw, 64MB of memory and roughly the computing power of a very old pentium. Admittedly it didn't run Win98, but then there's always /some/ good news... |

I'm talking about not only power consumption but disposal of a still apparently useful older computer and the energy needed to manufacture the new computer which will just become obsolete in 5 years anyway.| If the person finds the old machine still meets their needs, may as well keep it. |

Of course there are or were WPA adapters for 98SE
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search Most required a supplicant to be installed, either by the manufacturer or via third party support. Franc, myself, and others have had discussions on the issue in this group as: Wireless access Windows 98SE another: Networking trouble with wireless adapter another: Wireless and Windows98se -- MEB a Peoples' counsel _ _ ~~ wrote in message ... | Does anyone know of any wireless PCI adapters that let you use WPA | encryption on Windows 98? |

If the person finds the old machine still meets their needs, may as well keep it. Often I agree, however if the older machine takes 3.5kW and the new one takes 100W, its not such an easy sum... |
