Windows 2000 is not an upgrade from 98.
It is a seperate type of operating system, based on what used to be Windows NT.
XP is the next step up.

Bit-torrent? That's all I can say, never really downloaded windows off the net lol.
What about Linux? Perhaps Linux does have support for you modem. WHat kind of modem?
If Linux has support, you best bet is to load Linux.

Windows 2000 is rather old, don't ya think?
I would definitely consider XP as the minimum upgrade. Try eMule for a possible download.

You wouldn't want to go from WIN 98 to Windows 2000.
It is not the next step up, it is a whole differant animal.
