Yes, prividing your win98 box is running win98 second edition,
you can use Microsofts's internet connection sharing program.
It highly dodgy, a pain to set up, has stupid defaults and
generally drives people insane, but if you're persistant it
does work.
Once you have it set up on the windows side, just set your
linux default gateway to the ip address of your win98 box.
ICS also runs a name server of sorts, so you can point
to it for your dns as well.
it will auto-dial and I'm not sure if you can have this off or
not
If you're not running win98se, there are a few 3rd party apps
which do the same thing (probably better)
