More info?)
There's nothing wrong with Windows 2003 Terminal Services.
Support isn't free because Windows98 has been a discontinued
product for quite a few years now.
Windows98 *is* a supported platform for the rdp client, though, and
those clients should be able to connect.
Have you ruled out network problems? Are there XP clients in the
same remote locations which can maintain a stable connection to the
Terminal Server?
Can you connect with the rdp client on Windows98 to an XP client in
the same location?
Is there anything in the EventLog on the Terminal Server or the
domain controller?
