The biggest problem that I see is the communication between the Unix box and Win98 machine. Since Win98 and Unix have no network protocols in common I feel that we are at an impass.
Since we cannot use SMB under Unix or NFSd under Win98 I don't see how the communication can take place.
One thing I thought about was using natd to route FTP communications around the Unix box directly to the Win98 box. If an extra external IP is available the Unix box could virtualize this IP and natd could redirect FTP on the virtualized IP to the Win98 box running the MS-FTP service. But, that would call for software installation on the Unix box (natd) and on the Win98 box (IIS/FTP, which aren't installed by default on Win98 IIRC).
I guess there could always use a null-modem cable between the two boxes and use pppd (which
might be currently installed on the Unix box) and have the Win98 contact the Unix box on the null-modem cable. Maybe something could be worked out. That wouldn't count as a bastardized solution would it?

glutbuttonboxfunc
glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT) GLUT glutButtonBoxFunc(3GLUT)
NAME
glutButtonBoxFunc - sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window.
SYNTAX
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
void glutButtonBoxFunc(void (*func)(int button, int state));
ARGUMENTS
func The new button box callback function.
DESCRIPTION
glutButtonBoxFunc sets the dial & button box button callback for the current window. The dial & button box button callback for a window is
called when the window has dial & button box input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates dial & button
box button presses. The button parameter will be the button number (starting at one). The number of available dial & button box buttons can
be determined with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_BUTTON_BOX_BUTTONS). The state is either GLUT_UP or GLUT_DOWN indicating whether the callback was
due to a release or press respectively.
Registering a dial & button box button callback when a dial & button box device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this
case, no dial & button box button callbacks will be generated.
Passing NULL to glutButtonBoxFunc disables the generation of dial & button box button callbacks. When a new window is created, no dial &
button box button callback is initially registered.
