Why oh why would anybody buy a COMPAQ!? Bleh!!

I'm not really sure what your particular problem is. If it only has a modem jack and you're attempting to connect it to your LAN then I'm sure you can get a PCMIA ethernet card. As for the drivers, you're going to have a hard time finding them for an old Presario running 98. I would backup anything she wants then wipe it clean and install Windows 2000 or XP if you must.

Good luck.

The driver links I gave you are for both 95 and 98. Do a little reading!

Sorry if I sounded a little rough. We all give advice here for free and it's a little fustrating sometimes when you try to help and people don't listen.
