From Control Panel - System - Performance - Graphics ... drop the hardware acceleration to Min. Try again. if the problem persists bring it upto full again, but if it is solved bring it up a notch each time and relogon.
I've heard of this being the problem before.

Millions of people use the internet with windows 98 without serious proplems.  It is more likely that the phone lines (noise, call waiting, etc) , your connection configuration (communications protocols for example), your modem, your modem settings, control panel settings (as noted above), a resources conflict (such as IRQs or addresses), or corrupted system files.  There are many other possible causes.  We need to know more about your setup, any other computerproblems you might have be having with this system, phone line signal quality and connect speeds you usually get, IRQ assignements and the like.  Please provide more detains, and where you don't know what I mean, ask.  At this point there are 100s of possibilites.  We need more info to help limit where to look.
Maybe it got something to do with your country slection for the modem? Is the mode mactually desgined for use in your country?
