The nic may have been in there for other networking... not necessarily broadband. Many broadband connections are using usb instead of ethernet now. As a general rule... someone needs to be Windows 98 or higher (95 isn't supported by Microsoft so no one else wants to touch it either... 98 is going that way fast), 166mhz processor or higher, 64M RAM on 98, ME, NT, 2000 and 128M on XP, and a working usb port or ethernet card.
