Did Win98 not have the unix tools? ie the ability to connect via NFS? I'd assume NFS2 if so, so some work to be done to talk to an older NAS box. Failing that, there's always FTP. Not as convenient as mounting a network share, but still useful. Also some work to be done on firewall rules to make sure it's not exposed in or out! But anyone running Win98 on a network should already be paranoid :-)
