I believe the ppp support module is loaded and ppp package is installed as 
base linux system , I got the following message when booting. 

Jun 20 21:59:17 debian kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel 
allocation) 
Jun 20 21:59:17 debian kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 
1995 Caldera, Inc. 
Jun 20 21:59:17 debian kernel: PPP line discipline registered. 

one of debian documents  winmodem is not supported by linux ppp. I use US 
Robotics 56 K VoiceWin modem? is it true?

Thanks

I don't know how lilo works exactly. but,the general rule is that the 
partition for win98 must be bootable itself. Then MBR is capable of switching 
to win98 booting area by looking at the partition table.
