its part of sbc\at&t installation to get dsl service to run. Keeping it from running under windows 98 can cause connection problems. some firewalls can promt you as to what to do when it is running. Suggestion: allow.
   

Component used in combination with wireless receivers like Speedtouch 120G. Not dangerous. Probably not necessary when you have enabled zero wireless configuration service in Windows

Installed Speedtouch ST120G wireless USB adapter. Everything fine. Afterwards installed Agnitum Security Suite Pro RC. And now I got an error from PRISMSVR at startup. But as stated by others everything seems to works fine.

belongs to Speedtouch 121G wireless USB monitor. Can be stopped from running without consequences for internetconnection.

On my Dell Latitude 800, on boot up, I get an application error from PRISMSVR.EXE and I close the application. I am using a 2wire link card which seems to work just fine.

redundant program for 2wire wireless if you run Windows XP; 2Wire tech support told me to uninstall and system runs fine

this appeared after installing an Inventel UR054g (R01) USB wireless receiver. Now XP hangs occasionally but this could be related to me uninstalling avast anti-virus as well.

Have installed both Dell and 3COM wireless cards, so could have come from either. Never spotted it as a process before, however killing it does not affect wireless. Seemed to be using a lot of CPU when killed

Included in 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG install and removal by ToolBarCop does not effect networking ability.

Programm für einen USB W-LAN Adapter. Ungefährlich

Showed up in msconfig after installing SBC DSL & 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG Wireless Modem/Router on my Windows XP SP2 system.

came with 3com WLAN USB adapter; freezes my winXP SP1 randomly; after removal everything is still up and running
  Raik  

Was installed with SBC-Yahoo wireless networking on both an XP and a Win 98 SE machine. I stopped the process permanently on the Win 98 SE machine with no effect at all on the wireless networking capabilities. This yielded a 2% gain in system resources according to system monitor.

Like Alan T. says, but prismsvr is really only used by the 2wire wireless lan card utility. prismsvr will be loaded automatically by the utility when it is started, so it doesn't need to be loaded at system startup. Otherwise all wireless networking will work fine without it

Shows up after installation of SBC/Yahoo highspeed internet

If it's from Conexant my speculation is that it is got spyware since it seems to serve no actual purpose. The real purpose is to send your data coming through the wireless modem to got via Rockwell any time it's desired. They do this with Bestdata Rockwell Conexant chipsets too. Yes they do.
