I would Strongly advise that you try and upgrade...

To make Unreal allow more connections on win32, it involves the following:
  • Modifying the Unreal source
    Modifying the Window's registry
Both of which are NOT supported.

Pete, in that case the FAQ entry katsklaw gave you is completely accurate:
you are using w9x then you might not even reach 100

Basically, you're out of luck. Windows 98 is NOT a server OS.
