Looking like a RAM problem or a motherboard/video/etc-related. Try to remove sound cards, replace video card. If it will not help, simply install 98SE on another machine and use HDD with already installed copy.

By description it's seems that the modem emulator is not allowing local traffic. This may be solved by using two routers, emulating a ISP subnet. The WebOne server should be in "ISP subnet" and modem emulation server should be in "client network" (on same machine with UniPCemu). Both networks should …
