It works OK, technically speaking. Win98 certainly isn't recommended as a
server in a business because it has a filesystem (FAT32) that is completely
insecure. It will work fine with TCP/IP clients in a limited situation
(single-user or el-cheapo very small LAN). I'd certainly not be the one to
say you'd be better off with WinXP, if you don't care about file security.

But heck!! if you have some Win98 machines, why not reformat the
lowest-spec'd one, give it some RAM, install Linux, and run a proper server
for your Win98 clients?
