   > RTL8153 does auto correct, nice to eliminate need for crossover cables.   
      
   Get an Ethernet switch ($20 - many people are throwing old ones out; I have a   
   box with about 15 - 20 of the things) - get rid of any need to have a   
   crossover cable.   
      
   As said earlier, USB-to-Ethernet is going to be based on the USB version on   
   the W9x system - find a PCI USB 2.0 board that has Windows 98 drivers and your   
   issue is closer to a solution (the USB-to-Ethernet will also need Windows 9x   
   support) - the    
   motherboard USB of a Windows 98 system will be version 1.1 at most. Doesn't   
   the Windows 98 system have an Ethernet NIC you can put in?
