You want remote X applications to display on your Win98 system? In that case 
you will need an X server that runs under Win98...

There are some commercial ones, but the only free one I know of is a Java 
server that you can find here:

You might also want to try VNC... It doesn't use the X protocol, but you can 
disconnect from an entire session and reconnect, and everything will be where 
you left it. Their home page is here:
