Windows 95, 98, ME PPPoE setup

Windows 98 does not have the PPPoE client built in like Windows XP.
You'll need to use a 3rd party software. One such software is WinPoET and it's documented below.

Another alternative is a free software called raspppoe.
That program, and more information is available at: http://www.raspppoe.com/.
