I wish to enable a windows 98 computer to host a
connection to an XP computer through the xp remote
desktop connection program. I have installed the remote
desktop on both computers but can't find how to enable 98
to recieve.

You can't. Windows 98 does not support hosting a remote session, only being
a client. You need something different, perhaps PCAnywhere from Symantec or
VNC from http://www.realvnc.com/ to connect to a Windows 98 desktop.

So in my case I have a computer, running Windows 98, that still has apps that
just won't function or that do not have install disks left to install them to
my new XP Pro machine. I want to leave that older computer running as a fax
server, file server, and print server, as well as being able to access the
older applications from my XP Pro desktop. We are back to RealVNC or PC
Anywhere to do this or is there another solution?

You have no other option. PCAnywhere, or VNC, or some similar program.
Nothing else will work.
