However it is not suitable for using online and you are unlikely to get any sort of antivirus that will run on it now.

Many thanks, Paul. I've now got the modem card, which looks like an old ethernet card, but with something similar to a slim line version of USB. I might try the laptop with one of the office versions I've got ,possibly 2000. It's a pity as this laptop has a DVD drive as opossed to CD drives fitted to machines of similar age.
