Two things I would advise you to do, e-mail them asking for a trial
licence, I couldn't find anything about a trial but they replied the
next day with a 30 day trial, I was very happy for a month.
The other thing is to setup Samba on your Linux box, when win4lin is
running the Win98 can connect to the Samba box and use it's printers.
I have a sample Samba config file (smb.conf) at http://www.tux.com.au/linux/
It is configured for Domain login's but it is trivial to convert that to
a peer-to-peer setup. To create the Samba users I always do it with
Webmin. Configure Webmin to keep the Samba and Unix users in sync and
then create new accounts. If you already have Unix user Webmin will also
convert them for you.
