Has anyone has any issues with PC anywhere between 09se and 2000?

I have a 2000 host and a 98 remote. When i have the Host ready for a connection and try to connect with the 98 Machine (Modem to Modem) The 98 PC will dial in and you can hear the modem chatterm and you can also here the modem chatter on the 2000 PC. But i get a error on the 98 machine that says Disconnected, Could not establish a connection, Timeout.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
