remote desktop reconnect

I have a client that uses remote desktop everyday.  He lives in the US Virgin Islands and they have horrible internet that frequently cuts out.

He wants to be able to log into his Windows 2003 server.  When he gets kicked out he wants to log back in and be reconnected to the prior session.

How do I do this?

1) the user is not always reconnected to his original connection
2) the user wants to use remote desktop for the speed.  He doesn't have very high speed bandwidth in the VI.

There are server and remote desktop settings that can be configured to allow the reconnect to happen.

for example I have the terminal server configured to only allow a single login per user.  I set group policy to not limit the amount of time they can stay idle before getting kicked off.

the server reboots every night.

The settings I have seem to work for one terminal server but not for the other one.
Could anti-virus on the server be affecting his reconnect?  I am using WebRoot.
I was just re-reading my posts.  It looks to me like I was being unprofessional.  I honestly apologize!!  This is no excuse but I was VERY testy that day and rude to everyone.  A very unacceptable behavior!

I did some further testing last night.  It looks like the re-connection actually logs into the server instead of reconnecting to a running session.
