Really? I thought Remote Desktop Host Client was only available on XP Pro...
In Win98, you can install the remote client of Remote Desktop to connect to other PC's running the host, but the host application is not available for installation on 98 that I'm aware of.
Therefore, look for other solutions:
- Freebies: TightVNC, RealVNC
- Retail: PCAnywhere, Citrix Metaframe
