... because it's not supposed to work to only give an IP number with 
windows 9x.

Try:

mount -t smbfs -o password=X,ip=10.0.10.150 //name/paula /home/backup/paula

Where 'name' is the netbios name set on the win98 box.

Or even without the "ip" setting if you have the name in some name
resolution thing (wins, hosts, etc).
