Does anyone know if there is a download that would enable
a remote desktop connection to a Windows 98 PC from a XP
PC?
 
No, Windows 98 can *NOT* act as a Remote Desktop host... Look at NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
(RDS) or VNC as alternatives...

You can get the VNC software from http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ , http://www.realvnc.com or
http://www.tightvnc.com

Note that the VNC data stream is *NOT* encrypted like the RDS data stream is. Over the public
internet that is a potential security risk. Some folks run VNC through VPN or SSH tunnels.

NetMeeting is built-in to XP and 2000 and can *NOT* be upgraded. Get the newest version of
NetMeeting for Windows 98 at http://www.microsoft.com/netmeeting Look at this KB article for help
with RDS...
