I have 3 OS and I can connect through all. The 24online client works well for win98SE as well as winXP. You have to configure your network properly in *all* the OS.

The 24online server identifies your machine with 3 things : IP, MAC-ADDR & and authentication string based on your password.
For linux. I had to do a tiny hack to the linc code. It was about the length of one of the message fields. After recompilaton it worked fine. The instruction which come with linc are important.
