As long as you don't share files on your WIN98 system (you have to actually right click a folder/drive and selct sharing to do this) then while you are networked for DSL you are not networked for people to access your data.
What you are asking about is a non issue with a stand alone system.
Recently added DSL(SBC)on a Win98se machine. Been using
a dialup, so I just uninstalled/removed modem, then enabled nic. This has me configured as a network. Since
there only one computer who doesn't want to share anything, is this necessary? I prefer to be standalone
on a DSL line. chuck
