I wouldnt.  There are alot of things which NT/2k/XP can support much more
easily and with less performance hit then ME/98/95.  And given that people
who put their systems through rigorous work 'generally' (notable exceptions)
use the former rather then the later, there is probably more bias at play
then you think.

modem.
