Win98 server PC crashing

Hi:

I have been using Tridia VNC for remoting into 2 Win98 PCs - supporting
friends of mine.

My viewer has been on either XP or Linux.  For both Win98 PCs, I can initially
connect fine, but then the session will crash/disconnect me, and I have to get
the remote person to reboot for me to reconnect (restarting VNC server their
end doesn't work).   Both Win98 PCs are on broadband - one in the UK (where I
am) one in the US!  I am also on broadband!

I am wondering:

1)  Is this a general problem with VNC servers on Win98?  Browsing the support
list doesn't seem to indicate so.
2)  If not, does anyone have this sort of problem with RealVNC (as opposed to
TridiaVNC)?

I've downloaded the V4 beta of RealVNC to see whether I can get it to work
better.  I like the browser option!
