faster.  Do I need a USB 2.0 cable to make it work optimally...or will
any USB cable work with a card like this?

If you would like to set up a two PC LAN using existing your phone wires
instead of special cabling, I have two NICs that will work with W98 or
W98SE.  They are yours for the cost of mailing them to you (around $5 - $8
