OK, gang, I need your help.......

I've realized that I can't do everything alone. And as smart as I am, I certainly don't know it all. I need to get advise and/or expertise in the following areas:

• Giving pills to a cat. One of my cats -- Oreo, the 17-year-old black-and-white one -- has a heart condition. Our vet has given him some pills. But when we give it to him, he spits it out. Our next step is to grind up the pill using a mortar and pestle, slip it in his moist cat food, and keep the other cats away while he eats.
  
• Setting up Windows 98 SE to send and/or receive faxes. I'd like to be able to do this from home instead of running over to the local Kinko's for faxing.
  
• Memory management in Windows 98 SE. I have 256 Mb of memory in my system, and it appears that it's no longer enough. I sometimes hit 0% availability, which causes all sorts of snafus. (I can probably put one more chip in, if 100-MHz SD-RAM (I think) memory is still available.) Is there a program, similar to NT/2000's Task Manager to show me what background programs are taking what percentage of memory? I've tried to trace memory leaks, but I haven't found any.
  
• Advice on wireless routers. A low priority on my wish list is a wireless router (802.11g) and card for my laptop. I'm in a condo where I share walls with neighbors. Can signals seep through these walls? Will simple encryption be enough to prevent any of my neighbors from hacking in?

Thanks for the advice. I'll check them out.

On the CD that came with my modem, there was a fax and voice-mail package called SuperVoice. I just installed it last night. I won't get a chance to test it for another few days.

My computer shop still has 100-MHz SD-RAM chips (128 Mb) for $50. Since I bought the system from them, they'd know if that's what I bought before.
