Did that, and ... drum roll ... found the problem!

Current samba releases disable lanman authentication by default. And 
they quietly delete the old lanman hashes from the user database. A 
double whammy:

I had to add:

lanman auth = yes
client plaintext auth = yes    # not sure if this is needed
client lanman auth = yes

AND reset the W98 user's password in Samba.

Thanks for your suggestions, Craig!
