Use samba to make the FreeBSD files visible to Win98? (read-only should do
it for backup, I think).  There was a thread earlier on Win98 requiring
encrypted passwords, so you either have to set up Samba to use them or
edit Win98 registry to allow plaintext passwords (The thread was under the
title "What has Bill Gates done to us now?", or some such).
