Another thing you might try, since it's a win98 machine that was hacked and *all* the developed trojans I've heard of that would work on win98 either use TCP or UDP, would be a simple port scan. Port scan TCP, port scan UDP, make sure *every single port* is checked. When a high port shows up that is suspicious you may have nailed your problem right there. You may even get lucky if the offenders haven't changed the default port and your port scanner (like nmap) would be able to tell you which trojan it is right then/there.

From my experience, the 3 most common you may want to have him look for
would be:
*1.  SubSeven
2. Back Orifice
3. Master's Paradise

Keep in mind though, if you find one there's a very good chance there is another that was installed as a backup, almost anticipating that one be discovered.

Good luck --Michael

the way to track that is not trough netstat (is too dependent on chance),
but rather through a process/loaded dll list from an infected machine, being
compared to a similar list on a known good machine and all non-matching
entries researched.

now then http://www.sysinternals.com/win9x/98utilities.shtml this should
help you.
also, what does the telescope look like (just curious).
