I was just getting ready to say... I've never seen one, but the 15
months thing explains it. Your Windows 98 computer likely has an
Ethernet port in it, and if you subscribed to home internet, you could
connect it directly to the internet router with an Ethernet cable.

Most newer computers are backwards-compatible. I'd be willing to bet
that your new computer, if you connect your old camera to it, will
recognize it as a "mass-storage" device, like a flash drive, and you can
directly copy pictures from the camera to the Windows 10 computer. Give
it a try!
An alternative option would be to upload the pictures to your old
computer, and use a flash drive to transfer them to the new computer.
The flash drive would have to be formatted FAT32 and be less than 32 GB
to work with your old computer.
Of course, the latter option would be relatively time-consuming, but
there are always other options. My current computer still has an
internal 3.5" floppy drive; I built it that way, and I do use it to
transfer data to older computers a few times per year.
Final alternative option: New digital cameras are getting really cheap.
