Thanks, that might be worth a shot.

If I call Win98's ftp from command-prompt only mode, I get
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
When my company had a Novell server, I could load the NIC drivers and connect
from command mode. Since they've switched to Windows Server 2003, I can't
even connect from full Win98, even after doing all of the mods suggested by
M$. That's why I'm down to trying ftp or scp.
I can backup via ftp or copying to a flash drive if I want to wait for full
Win98 to boot.
