Don't know about Win 98.

The two main purposes I can immediately think of are a GET method to fetch a web page so I can filter it and save it to file, then use wx.execute() to ask a browser to display it. An ideal extension of this would be a local web proxy that the brower would reach on 127.0.0.1. This proxy would be entirely written in wxLua and intercept the external input fetched from a server, and filter it as I want, so the browser then shows it as I need.

Try to look for wxSocket examples. wxLua wraps all of these classes
and they send wxEvents containing the network data. I have not used
them extensively.
