Try moving the linux box where your 98 one is, or run a really long phone cord to the extention the 98 box is on. If your connection improves, the extention your Linux box is on has bad wiring, likely reversed polarity (the wires are backwards). If it's reversed polarity, the extention will work fine for voice but be kinda flaky or connect at low speed for data and not at all for DSL. -- .''`.
