I recently got a "new" windows 98 Laptop. It can connect to the internet, though it cant really do anything so I thought about escargot. Has anyone got one of the messengers working on windows 98 SE?

Try version 2.x or 3.x - it should work. And to be safe, set a legacy password to sign on from that client. Requests sent are unencrypted there.

Patching them is just adding a registry entry as described in the connection guide.
