Nope, that won't work.  Ipconfig is NT-only.  95 and 98 have winipcfg, 
but it is a GUI tool, not a command-line tool.

The usual way is to use os.popen, which works everywhere.  However, as I 
said, that won't help you with this information.

In fact, it is surprisingly difficult to get information about the 
network interfaces on a 95/98 machine.  Have you tried the downloadable 
WMI support mentioned earlier?
