I believe that i read somewhere about how to connect to xp via rdesktop. It is possible that its one of those "hidden features" that you have to edit the registry by hand to enable. I also remember seeing a product that said it would enable terminal services for up to 5 people on a single xp pro system. I have no real world experience using xp like this, only an afternoon of googling a while back out of curiosity. I'd start by searching google for [windows xp rdesktop] or [windows xp terminal services], or etc. You get the picture. YMMMV.
