the modem should have a driver disk which will make the USB connection into a Network connection.
if there is no 98 driver then there's not much you can do.
If you search google then there may be a compatible driver from another company.

Check the installation CD which came with the medem/ Road Runner gave me the drivers and the option to go USB.
